Opportunities!
Call for Entries - Deadline: December
28th, 2011
Emerging artists now have a chance to get their "artUP,"
achieve their
big break, and earn $15,000 by entering the first artUP international
arts competition. 300 Finalists' works will be displayed in downtowns,
major shopping centers, and other public spaces in several major U.S.
cities.
Three Grand Prize winners will split $15,000 in total prize
money. The contest is sponsored by Britten, Inc., North America's
leading creator of large-format banners and displays.In addition, each
entry will be placed in an online "Artist Marketplace," where more than
6,000 Britten clients will be able to view and purchase the artwork,
creating an avenue for artists to earn money and connect with art and
business professionals. If an entry is purchased through the Artist
Marketplace, and then printed with Britten, the artist will be paid 10%
of the total order cost that was printed! (ie. $3,000 order means that
the artist would receive $300) The benefits are continuous.
Artists may
submit fine art, photographs, digital creations, logos and more.
Examples might include a modest design such as a typeface, a color
theme or background texture, or a painting or computer-generated
design. Guest Jurors will judge entries based on artistic merit,
overall impression, creativity and originality, but most importantly
how it could be applied to the large-format marketplace. Information
and examples will be provided on the contest webpage,
artUP.BrittenBanners.com.The entry fee is $20 for the first entry and
$10 for each additional entry. Students pay only $10.
