$1,000 iPhoneArt Grants Program
THE iPhoneArt GRANTS program is designed to offer recognition to the best Mobile Artists around the world as iPhoneArt and iPhoneography lead this underground movement into the light.
iPhoneArt’s FIRST grant will be awarded to the artist with the best work uploaded before December 1, 2010. The top 10 artists will be determined by votes cast by other members. All members are eligible to vote and to win. The top 10 most voted for artists will then be reviewed by the iPhoneArt Panel who will select the final recipient.
Any work created with an iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch is welcome. Create your art on a different mobile device? Upload your work as an iPhoneArt Challenge – you are still eligible to win. Simply check the iPhoneArt Challenge box when you upload your work.
Each member is allowed to vote as many times as he/she likes, but will be restricted to only one vote per image per day. In other words, you may vote for many different images on any given day, but you will not be able to vote for the same image more than one time per day.
As our grant program develops, the winners will be invited to join the iPhoneArt Panel in determining future recipients.
