Entry InformationTo participate in the 2010 Wearable Art Exhibition, the artist’s application package must be received by the Port Moody Arts Centre no later than 5 pm on December 18, 2009. This application package contains:
An initial panel of jurors will review the application packages received and select those entries that will be part of the Wearable Art Exhibition. Artists whose entries are chosen will be notified by December 21, 2009 through email and will then be required to deliver the following to the Port Moody Arts Centre from January 4, 2010 through January 17, 2010:
The selected entries will be evaluated by a second panel of jurors and have the opportunity to win both category prizes and the People’s Choice Award. Packaging used to deliver this material should be permanently labeled to include the artist's name and entry titles. Further details—including a must-read FAQ document and copies of the various forms—are located on our web site at www.wearableartawards.com/artists. About CDsDue to the high cost of shipping most works of Wearable Art, the Port Moody Arts Centre uses CDs for the first round of judging for the Wearable Art Awards. Only if your entry has been accepted will you be required to ship your final garment. CDs will be viewed on a PC with basic image viewing software. It is the artist’s responsibility to ensure that all required information is contained on the CD. If you do not have access to a digital camera and/or CD burner, many electronic and drug stores have scanning and CD burning services. GuidelinesThe 2010 Wearable Art Exhibition will be a two month long display coinciding with the 2010 Vancouver/Whistler Winter Olympic Games in British Columbia. With no performance component for this year, the 2010 jury will be basing decisions on craftsmanship, concept, and design. Finer details will be of greater importance in 2010. However, we still do require that entries are wearable. As always, we are looking for more than a “pretty dress.” We are asking you to go deep into your imagination to create a wearable piece of art that challenges what most consider to be everyday fashion.
