Many graphic artists, illustrators, and painters have dreamed about their work being published or displayed to a wide audience..
How would you feel if your image was displayed on a large billboard for all to see, and admire?
.
If you are looking for public exposure of your art, the Art Moves International Billboard Art Competition may be just the contest for you.
.
The Art Moves Festival in Torun, Poland is particularly interested in entries from students attending graphic arts schools or graphic arts colleges because the competition is, “…particularly addressed to young artists who are usually most eager to face new themes and untypical ways of art presentation.”
.
According to the contest organizers, the contest theme, “Is Everything Interlinked?” encompasses:
“…a sort of metaphor of the contemporary world, both in the macro sphere (as clearly demonstrated by the example of the current global financial crisis which has revealed the links between particular national economies in the worldwide context…
“…and in the micro sphere, in which individuals exchange their emotions and affect other people’s life, without often realizing it. A simple illustration can be smiling at another person on the street and making him or her feel good as a result.
“These are obviously only examples and the actual interpretation of the theme and identifying various links in today’s world will be the role of the artists.”
.
Ten winners will be selected. These designs will be printed and displayed on billboards throughout the city of Torun during the Art Moves Festival in October. Each winner will also be rewarded with €1600 ($2,264). Applicable taxes apply. Entries that do not win may also be displayed in the city at the discretion of the judges.

Deadline for submissions is August 25, 2009.
