Call for Entries – National Association of Digital Artists
We are proud to sponsor the National Association of Digital Artists competition ‘Images of Resilience’. This is an international fundraising competition created to offer support to one of mobile arts most astounding artists, Meri Walker, aka iPhoneArtGirl. During September of this year, Walker lost her home and entire contents as seas of fire tore throughout her residence and land in Talent, Oregon, United States.
This competition will see the entire proceeds gifted to Meri Walker in order to help her to rebuild her life. There is also a gofundme campaign and you can view it here.
The theme for this competition is Resilience and we have detailed the competition categories below. Each category offers a cash prize.
To read more about this competition, please go to the organisers page, here.
The deadline for entries is 1 February 2021.
Competition Categories
Artwork can be submitted in one, two or all three categories.
Digital Photography: This category includes photography that uses a digital sensor to record the image, including DSLRs and mobile phone or tablet cameras.
Digital Painting/Drawing: Digital painters use software and apps, whether mobile or computer-based, to draw and paint their images.
Digital Mixed Media: This category includes work in which artists may combine and manipulate images, and may use mark making, drawing and painting, and text using a variety of apps, whether mobile or computer-based.
Artists must certify that they have permission for all imagery used in their submissions. Neither the National Association of Digital Artists nor the Cape Cod Art Center nor any juror working with either organisation is responsible for any unauthorised use of images.
Artists may submit as many entries as they like, but no individual may be awarded more than two prizes.
