Monday Night Football Design Competition

ArtsinStark invites any artist over 18 years of age living in the state of Ohio to submit an image for the sixth moment of The ELEVEN public art series: "Monday Night Football, 1970." Images submitted can be drawings, paintings, or digitally created art. The winning image will become part of a banner mural to be installed on the south wall of the Chase Bank Tower (101 Central Plaza South) in downtown Canton, OH. The dimensions of the television screen wall are approximately 36' high by 72' wide, with the area inside the TV screen measuring approximately 30' high by 48' wide.

ArtsinStark will award $5,000 to the artist with the winning image, and $500 to five runners up. All entries must be submitted by September 18, 2017. Winners will be announced on October 2, 2017, and "Monday Night Football" will be unveiled in November 2017. The sponsors are: The Deuble Foundation, The Hoover Foundation, Stark Community Foundation, and The Timken Foundation.

Submissions require 10 images of previous work, a one-page resume, the submitted image (concept or finished), and an artist statement. If a concept image is submitted, the winning artist will have 22 days to create the finished image. Judging criteria are: a) Does it truly capture the moment? b) Is the art of the highest possible quality? and c) Is the concept so amazing that even visitors who don't love football will still want to come see it? The entry fee is $10. For more information, contact Alaska Thompson, Project Coordinator at (330) 546-3098 or [email protected].
