Art For Progress (AFP) is pleased to announce the fifth annual international artist competitions “Clash of the Artists 2011.” AFP inspires exceptional international talent to submit their work, get involved, gain valuable exposure and support art education. Submissions opened January 1st, 2011 and continue through February 13th. Work submitted from participating artists (visual art, music, fashion, film and creative) will go live on AFP’s website February 21st, where the the online community will have an opportunity to vote for their favorite artists through March.
In contrast to previous years, for the 5th annual event, AFP has organized a panel of industry professionals and artists to review the work of each finalist and determine the winners. The top 10 visual arts finalists will be reviewed, and the top 5 in live music, fashion, and film (Creative winner is determined from online voting only). The winners (1st, 2nd, and 3rd) will be based on the review of our expert panelists. Finalists who are not selected as winners by the panel will receive honorable mention, as well as discounted membership offers and promotional opportunities.
Not only will our winners receive great prizes, they’ll also be featured at showcase events soon to follow the review of our panelists. AFP is planning a high-level PR campaign focusing on the upcoming showcase events and the winners of “Clash of the Artists 2011.” The submission fee is $20 for the first month (through January) and $25 from February 1st through February 13th. Artists can submit up to 3 images, 3 tracks and 1 film for the $20 submission fee.
Artists are encouraged to get on board, submit their work and gain exposure while supporting art education. Works can be submitted on the AFP website,

or via mail to 151 First Avenue, Suite 26, New York, NY 10003. A printable form is available on the website for mail-in submissions.
