[Elaine Walters]

*VSA arts Invites Entries From Young Artists With Disabilities for Green 
Light Awards*
 
* Deadline: July 11, 2008*
 
 Sponsored by VSA arts ( http://vsarts.org/ ) with support from
 Volkswagen of America, Inc. ( http://volkswagengroupamerica.com/ ),
 the Green Light Awards program is open to young artists between
 the ages of 16 and 25 living in the United States who have a
 physical, cognitive, or mental disability. A disability is de-
 fined as an impairment that substantially limits a major life
 activity.
 
 The program invites entries of both representational and abstract
 work. Artwork may illustrate actual aspects of what signals the
 artist's creative motivations such as the physical world or per-
 sonal discoveries. Abstract work that relates to feelings or
 emotions is also encouraged. Work might also reflect the artist's
 experience of living with a disability and its role in shaping
 or transforming their work.
 
 Art must be an original work that has been completed in the
 last three years. Eligible media include paintings and drawings
 (oil, watercolor, acrylic, pencil, or charcoal), fine art prints
 (lithographs, etching, intaglio, or woodcuts), photography,
 computer-generated prints, and two-dimensional mixed media.
 This year the program also welcomes entries of sculpture and
 time-based media (video, film, etc.).
 
 The program will award one Grand Prize of $20,000, one First
 Award of $10,000, one Second Award of $6,000, and twelve Awards
 of Excellence of $2,000 each.
