So You Think You Can Draw? Emirates Wants to Fly Artists for Free

August 18, 2010 at 9:36 AM | by | Comments (0)

Want a free trip to Dubai on Emirates plus $5,000, plus the chance to exhibit your artwork at an international art fair? You're in luck because Emirates wants to make it happen for a promising talent, so long as they think you're as good as Damien Hirst.

You see, Emirates is searching for emerging artists to enter their contest to replace the Damien Hirst artwork on their Skywards loyalty program cards. If you win, you'll be flown to Dubai for the unveil, get a place for your portfolio to be shown in the Art Dubai Fair in March 2011, and be handed the $5,000 (think Dubai shopping spree).

This contest is very wide-reaching as it welcomes entries of sculpture, photography and painting, but there is one major downside: entries from artists in the USA or Italy are not welcome. Bummer! But this is great news for you non-Americans and non-Italians out there. The exposure for the three winners—as there are three levels of Skywards cards—will be great; your work and name on their frequent flyer cards, print and online communication and promotional material.

If you can't get it together to enter this year's contest by August 31 (winners announced September 25), then you can begin brainstorming for next year as this contest will be annual. Read the details and enter the contest here.
