Design 'Year of the Monkey' Visual, Win RMB 20,000
We may only be a quarter the way through the Year of the Sheep (or ram or goat), but the Beijing Municipal Bureau of Culture is already thinking about next year: the Year of the Monkey. The exciting part is, though, that you can be a part of it, as they are running a design competition for the key visual, in conjunction with Today Art Museum. The competition is now open for entries.
Entries from all over the world are welcomed and the competition will run until September 12.
"We hope more artists and lovers of Chinese zodiac culture from foreign countries will join the competition, and design monkey characters based on their cultural backgrounds or comprehension of the monkey," said Sun Bo, an official with the municipal culture bureau, to Ecns.
The design has to focus on the monkey, under the leading motto "Joyful Spring Festival / Golden Monkey Welcoming the Spring," according to the competition guidelines on the Today Art Museum website.
Once you've finished your design, email it to jqsx2016@todayartmuseum.org. In the subject of your email, write your area, name, and the title of your artwork.
Winners will be announced September 30. There will be one person winning the 1st prize, three winning 2nd prize, and five winners winning 3rd prize. Prizes are RMB 20,000, RMB 10,000 and RMB 5,000 respectively, so get designing!
