All works and subject matter will be considered for the competition and display during the 2009 festival, which will be held on Saturday, June 6th.
Stage 1: Initial Screening
All entries should be sent via email as soon as possible to events@alysbeach.com. The deadline for all submissions is April 30, 2009. Your link should be easily viewable in a standard web browser, and launch with common plug-ins such as Flash or QuickTime.
There is no application fee and ARTISTS RETAIN 100% OWNERSHIP OF THEIR WORKS, although please note that by submitting an entry, you agree to allow Digital Graffiti and Alys Beach the right to use photographic reproductions of your artwork for promotional purposes, both in print and online.
You may submit more than one artwork, but please note that artwork requires its own entry information:
