Call to Artists - Life's a Beach Cover Art Competition

Life’s A Beach Publications invites area artists to participate in their upcoming cover art show and competition hosted by The Arts and Design Society of Fort Walton Beach. The grand prize winner earns the opportunity to display their masterpiece on the front cover of an upcoming issue of Life’s a Beach, the #1 visitor’s guide to the Emerald Coast, which distributes more than 500,000 copies annually. The selected artist will also receive a featured editorial and quarter page ad within the issue. In exchange for artist exposure, Life’s A Beach Publications will take ownership of the selected art piece, this includes reproduction in print, electronic, and/or computer readable formats.

The artwork should capture the playful and whimsical flair of the Emerald Coast, and exhibit vibrant, eye catching colors. The piece should also incorporate at least one palm tree. Brilliant contrasting colors in a vertical 2’ by 3’ format work best. All art must be ready to hang when submitted. All art entries of no more than two pieces must be delivered to The Arts and Design Society in Fort Walton Beach on November 9th between the hours of 1-4 p.m. All entries will be displayed at the ADSO gallery, and the winner will be announced at a November 15th reception.
