Call to Artists: Young Marine Artist Search

 
The American Society of Marine Artists, a 500-member national association of painters, sculptors, collectors and scholars, interested in the promotion of marine art and maritime themed artworks, is sponsoring a regional competition for student-age (16-23) artists who show an interest in marine art. Works can be in any medium (drawing, painting, sculpture) and depict scenes of any type of body of water (ex: marsh, river, ocean), vessel (boats or ships) or marine life (fish, etc.). Awards in the form of art supply gift certificates ($100 first place; $50 second place and $25 third place) will be presented to the three winners, along with a one-year Student Membership in ASMA to the overall winner, whose work will then advance to the National Competition to be held in the Summer. $2,500 in scholarships are awarded in the annual National competition.Works will be judged by Mystic artist Russ
