The 2019 Westarctica Art Expo, is an upcoming showcase of art from Westarctican citizens. This will be the second iteration of the art expo.
Entry Period and Rules
The entry period was open fro 9 to 30 September 2019. This iteration of the event has three categories:
- The Heroic Age of Antarctic Exploration (1897-1922). This subject includes the people, places and things central to the heyday of the continent's exploration. This is a visual category, open to any traditional visual representation of art, including sketching, painting, sculpture, tapestry, etc.
- Wildlife of Antarctica (Land, Air, and Sea). The subject includes the fauna of the continent and its surrounding waters. This is a visual category, open to any traditional visual representation of art, including sketching, painting, sculpture, tapestry, etc.
- Short Poetry (140 Words or Fewer). The subject includes short poetry that discusses the people, places, or concept of Westarctica. This is a written category, open to poetry (sonnet, verse, haiku) and poetic prose. The word count limit will be strictly enforced.. Artists are encouraged to utilize any visual, non-written or performance art medium. They are only advised that their pieces would be judged based on how relevant they were to the subject of Westarctica, in general.
As the event is an expo, and not an actual contest, there will be no true judging or winners. However, it was decided that up to three pieces will be able to receive special recognition as "Selections."
Selections for Special Recognition
There were eleven submissions covering a wide array of mediums, including traditional paintings, photography, and writing. Three pieces will receive special recognition for excellence. The creators of these three pieces will be named Honored Artists, assuming they have not been already.
