The
4th Annual, International Commitment to Excellence in Art &
Sport:
A Fine Art Competition and Exhibit
Call
for Artists - Deadline: July 7th, 2014
NAMOS seeks
museum-quality art depicting sport that goes beyond the images seen in
the media. It strives to spur artists to create work that
expresses the essence of sport whether it is action, excitement of
competition, rewards of teamwork, or the honor of playing by the rules.
It is a competition that values little known sports as much as those
that dominate the airwaves.
Jurors, Adrienne Ruger Conzelman, Jean Marie Cote and Andrew
Schoelkopf, will select approximately 30 pieces for an
exhibit September 7 to November 3, 2014, in the New Canaan Historical
Society & Museum, New Canaan, Conn. They will also be featured
in a downloadable, digitized illustrated catalogue. For more
information on jurors click here.
NAMOS’ competition is open to artists, aged 18 and over, who create
fine art with a sport subject in three categories: 2D/Not Photography,
3D and 2D/Photography. Submissions are to be made on-line by clicking
below. An artist may enter up to three works for $35 and
additional works at $10 each. There is no limit for entries; however,
only one entry will be eligible for a competition prize.
The jurors will choose three medalists, gold, silver, and bronze, in
each of the three categories – 2D/Not Photography, 3D and
2D/Photography – and three $2,500 award winners. The awards will be the
Germain G. Glidden Best of Show prize, the National Collegiate Athletic
Association (NCAA) Honoring Academic and Athletic Excellence in
Painting award and the NCAA Honoring Academic and Athletic Excellence
in Sculpture award. The NCAA is a sponsor of the competition.
To qualify for one of the two NCAA awards, the art must evoke
