Art Contest Info
Quad-Cities Libraries and the Figge Art Museum are organizing the first annual Teen Anime Fest and Manga Art Show. This unique event will take place at the Figge on October 18th, from 12-4:30.
In preparation for the Manga Art Show, QC Public Libraries will be holding art contests. Check with your local library to see if they’re participating. Young artists, ages 12-18, are invited to submit their original artwork drawn in manga or comic book style. All different mediums -paint, pencil, graphic design, etc.- can be used. Interested teen artists should submit their original artwork and completed entry forms to their local library. Submissions will be accepted September 2nd –October 3rd, 2008. Entries can also be emailed to scarlin@scottcountylibrary.org
Only two entries per person will be accepted. Depending on the number of submissions, we may choose to display only one of each person’s works. Entries will be on display in the Figge’s studios, from 12-4:30, the day of the Teen Anime Fest. Artwork will be judged by a professional artist and prizes will be awarded to the winners. Please turn in one entry form per each piece submitted. There is no registration fee for the art contest. Click on the following link for a printable version of the form:
Please note: There is no need to frame your artwork. Since it will only be on display for the afternoon, we will be pinning them up in a temporary fashion. If you have concerns, it might be best to fix your art to a larger piece of paper that we can put the pins through.
As previously mentioned, the Teen Anime Fest and Manga Art Show will take place on Saturday, October 18th, from 12-4:30 at the Figge Art Museum located in downtown Davenport. The event is for teens only! There will be a $5 admission fee at the door. No registration is required.
