Announcing 2014
Competition Deadlines & Awards
We
are currently accepting Early Bird entries at the discounted rate of
$20 per art work until the end of May, 2013. After May 31st the entry
fee will resume to the normal rate of $30 per art work. In the very near
future we will be using Juried Art Services for all of our visual
entries, as they have a far more comprehensive platform to handle art
works. We think all visual artists will be very pleased.
The
awards for 2014 will be: One Grand Prize winner receives $2,000. The
grand prize winner may come from any one of the four creative
categories. Typically we receive double the entries in songwriting as
the other categories, however its not the medium that wins but the
impact of the message that is sought. We strongly feel that any of the
four creative categories has the potential to be give us a grand prize
winner! Each of the four creative categories; Songwriting, Fine Art,
Literature and Repurposed Materials in Art & Design will have a
First Place winner who receives $1,000. Ten finalists will be selected
and will receive a finalist award icon and a free page on the soon to be
launched site: The Art of Ecology.org. Twenty semi-finalists will also
be selected, and will receive a semi-finalist award icon and a fifty
percent discount for a webpage in The Art of Ecology.org as will all who
enter Eco Arts Awards 2013 and the upcoming 2014 competition. We will
no longer have 2nd or 3rd place winners. What we are finding is that to
make it to the finals is as good as winning, we just can not afford to
give $10,000 away! Maybe one day!
The
Art of Ecology.org is still being worked on! This is going to be a new
and very exciting showcase site that will feature many artists in a
variety of creative mediums. To participate artists will simply submit
their artwork via email for review. Once accepted they will receive an
email stating their acceptance along with an invoice for the annual
participation fee of sixty dollars. If you have already entered Eco Arts
Awards you will receive a fifty percent discount! Each artist will have
their own web page which will feature up to three images, plus a photo
of themselves, a bio, with links to your unique promotional sites. The
beauty of this concept is that it will create a strong gathering a
creative intention that will generate a lot of interest. The ole term,
there is strength in numbers, applies! Thomas Berry who is considered
the father of the ecological movement once said, "A completely new type
of creativity is needed, this creativity must have as its primary
concern the survival of the earth in its functional integrity." We
are wanting to facilitate a well spring of creativity, in all its
diversity- for the sake of the earth, for the sake of the whole. We hope you join us, stick with us, and basically fully support the process!
An explanation:
We have been offline for over 10 days due to computer repairs. Hint:
Never drink coffee near your laptop! There is still an inability to
access ecoartsawards email but this should be resolved later today! We
profusely apologize for this delay in communication and fully intend to
reply to each email, that are sitting somewhere in cyberspace as soon as
we can access them! Another apology: 'The Art of Ecology' site is
taking a little longer to build than we anticipated, this is not
unusual. We are very certain it will be worth the wait!
