Emirates Skywards' artists competition launched
Emirates invites artists to express share and submit work for the
2014 Skywards' membership cards
Emirates has announced the launch of the Emirates Skywards' Future
Artists Competition to connect the world's emerging artists with the
global audience of Emirates award-winning frequent flyer programme. The
competition, in its fourth year and open to all artists worldwide, is
designed to give undiscovered talent the chance to be seen by millions.
The Emirates Skywards Future Artists Competition is open to artwork
across three broad media categories: photography/digital media,
painting/illustration, and 3D (sculpture, ceramic and glass). Four
winning entries will be chosen, one for each tier of Emirates Skywards
membership.
Winners of the competition will have their artwork featured on the
Emirates Skywards 2014 membership cards; giving artists an exciting
opportunity to express their creativity while connecting them with a
global and esteemed platform of over nine million Emirates Skywards
members.
In addition, the creators of the winning artworks will receive a
commission of US $5000 and their selected artwork will be featured in
supporting online and offline communications and promotional material,
plus each artist's name will be displayed alongside their winning
artwork.
"Being frequent flyers of Emirates, our members are accustomed to the
best - in their travels and during their leisure time - and they
represent a diverse group with discerning tastes and interests.
Because of this, the Emirates Skywards' Future Artists competition is
the perfect match for our members," says Brian LaBelle, Senior
Vice-President Skywards. "By seeking out undiscovered talent - be it
self-taught, art students or even experienced individuals who have not
yet achieved their artistic aspirations - the competition engages the
Emirates Skywards community by not only introducing them to these
talented new artists but also allows them to vote for their favourite
artwork; giving them a voice in design of their membership cards each
year. This level of involvement has led to our valued members
discovering cutting-edge artwork which they would otherwise not have had
the opportunity to experience."
All entries must be submitted by July 23 2013. After the artwork is
evaluated and short-listed, judging will commence; conducted by a panel
of highly regarded industry professionals and experts.
Voting by Emirates Skywards members will be open from the 1st to the
September 16, 2013, with the four winner announced at the end of that
month. Voting is open to all current and new Emirates Skywards members.
