VSA arts Invites Entries From Young Artists With 
Disabilities
for Green Light Awards

Deadline: July 11, 2008

Sponsored by VSA arts ( http://vsarts.org/ ) with 
support from
 Volkswagen of America, Inc. ( 
http://volkswagengroupamerica.com/ ),
 the Green Light Awards program is open to young 
artists between
 the ages of 16 and 25 living in the United States who 
have a
 physical, cognitive, or mental disability. A 
disability is defined
 as an impairment that substantially limits a major 
life
 activity.

The program invites entries of both representational 
and abstract
 work. Artwork may illustrate actual aspects of what 
signals the
 artist's creative motivations such as the physical 
world or personal
 discoveries. Abstract work that relates to feelings or
 emotions is also encouraged. Work might also reflect 
the artist's
 experience of living with a disability and its role in 
shaping
 or transforming their work.

Art must be an original work that has been completed in 
the
 last three years. Eligible media include paintings and 
drawings
 (oil, watercolor, acrylic, pencil, or charcoal), fine 
art prints
 (lithographs, etching, intaglio, or woodcuts), 
photography,
 computer-generated prints, and two-dimensional mixed 
media.
 This year the program also welcomes entries of 
sculpture and
 time-based media (video, film, etc.).

The program will award one Grand Prize of $20,000, one 
First
 Award of $10,000, one Second Award of $6,000, and 
twelve Awards
 of Excellence of $2,000 each.

Visit the VSA arts Web site for complete program 
information.
