EMERGING EROTIC
ARTIST CONTEST 2001 We are happy to announce the
4th Emerging Erotic Artist Contest, a biennial event
designed to nurture amateur artists and give them the
opportunity to introduce their work to the art world
through an international competition. The main criterion
for entering the contest is that the artist has not yet
begun selling any of her or his erotic art.
Entering (and
winning!) the Contest gave photographer Jay Jorgensen
renewed inspiration to produce provocative images such as
this
Entries will be judged by a five member panel of
judges from the arts. The scoring is done anonymously,
using the same scoring as the Olympic games. The
contest's categories are single figure, multiple figure,
fantasy/fetish, and photography. Works may be in any
medium, including sketches, paintings, sculpture,
photography, or mixed media.
The main change for this year's contest is that we
will no longer accept original artworks each
contestant must instead submit an 8.5 x 11 inch copy of
his or her work. By instituting this change, we insure
that the artists themselves have final control over how
their work appears to the judges.
We shall soon be sending out a call for artists
throughout the world, and we welcome all who fall within
the parameters to enter. The Grand Prize is always a
worthy reward, and can sometimes be a life-changing
experience (for an example, please read the article by
last year's co-winner Jay Jorgensen in the previous issue
of the Dispatch) .
Applications are available from the Foundation by
download from our website, by email requests, or by
calling or writing the office. Completed applications and
samples of work must be received by the Foundation no
later than July 31, 2001. The winners will be announced
by October 1, 2001, and their works will be displayed
during the Seventh Annual Erotic Art Fair to be held in
mid-October.
Good luck! And please tell your artist friends about
this great opportunity!
