Women Environmental Artists Directory (WEAD) - Wells Fargo Green Team Award Commission

The Women Environmental Artists Directory (WEAD) is sponsoring a competition to commission an award for Wells Fargo's Green Teams. Wells Fargo's Environmental Affairs team seeks an artwork that equals the prestige of the Stanley Cup for green initiatives. The award will be given quarterly to one of 45 Green Teams across the country, comprised of Wells Fargo employees.

The award must be recognizable as made from trash or refuse, valued as a precious prize, and unique. Maximum dimensions are 18 in. W x 24 in. H x 12 in. D with a maximum weight of 25 lbs. The award must be durable, pack and travel well, and come in reusable packaging easy to store in an office cubicle. It will travel four times per year across the country. The design should align with Wells Fargo's brand messaging ("working together," "knows you"), Vision and Values, and Employee Value Proposition ("supports you," "understands you"). Green Team names or stories about their projects can be added to the award.

Eligibility is open to all professional ecoartists residing within the United States. Applicants should submit a maximum of eight images of past work and a brief written proposal describing how they would address the commission requirements. Three finalists will be selected and awarded a $200 honorarium each to submit a detailed maquette and supporting documentation. The winning artist will receive a $2,000 commission to produce and deliver the final artwork. Payment schedule: $1,000 upon winner notification and $1,000 upon final artwork acceptance.
