LAUNCH OF 1ST ILOILO ART PRIZE

WITH the aim of capturing the essence of past and present Iloilo City through the eyes of visual artists, the Iloilo Convention and Visitors Bureau (ICVB) will launch the 1st Iloilo Art Prize on June 29, 2015 at the Business Room of the Sarabia Manor Hotel and Convention Center.

An entry must be an oil-based or acrylic painting on an 18 x 24 canvas stretched on a box frame and must revolve around the theme, “Iloilo City: Moment and Memory.”

A participant must be a Filipino citizen aged 18 years and above on the dates of submission which are July 1 to 31, 2015 from 10 a.m. to 12 noon and 1:30 p.m. to 3 p.m. at the La Fiesta Hotel, M.H. del Pilar Street, Iloilo City.

The first prize is P20,000, second prize is P15,000, and third prize is P10,000, with winning artists consenting to the replication of their work as stipulated in the competition rules and regulations.

The 1st Iloilo Art Prize is organized by the ICVB in cooperation with the National Commission on Culture and the Arts, the Department of Tourism and the St. Therese MTC Colleges.

“The price of the replicated work will be determined by the artist and the buyer who will be duly designated by the ICVB wherein the ICVB is entitled to 10 percent of the price agreed upon by the artist and the buyer,” said the competition rules and regulations, adding the proviso that winning entries will be the property of ICVB but with the artist retaining intellectual property rights.

Moreover, the ICVB emphasized that the artwork to be submitted or portions thereof should not have been entered in any other painting or design competition, nor ever commercially printed or published in any form; members of the ICVB Board of Directors including their relatives up to the second degree of consanguinity and affinity are disqualified from joining the competition.

Moreover, participants consent that their works be selected as part of the ICVB Iloilo Art Prize Exhibit, which will be held between August and October 2015 in selected hotels and malls.

Entry forms are available at V & P Digital Worx Co., Sto. Rosario Street, Iloilo City (behind Perla Insurance). Inquiries may be made at the same office via telephone number 300-1387 (please look for Daisy) and email address iloiloartprize@gmail.com.
