The Havaianas Art Exhibit –Surf & Music Festival 2011
Are you a photographer or an artist who loves to create work that evokes a feel good vibe? Gain recognition and exposure by participating in this one of a kind exhibit, at the country’s largest Surf & Music Festival.
Think of the beach, its vibe, and all the spin offs that arise from the beach/surfing lifestyle. This may be creatively represented by action imagery, lifestyle imagery, concert photography (because music and surf have always gone hand in hand), landscape, portraiture, or still life, etc.
The theme is broad, but the unifying factor is that the content must tie in with the beach lifestyle. The creative output is dependent on each artist’s individual interpretation of the board riding experience.
Criteria for selection will be based on 30% relevance to the theme, 40% Originality, 30% Technical Merit.
