International Art Contest: THE MILLENNIUM ART COLLECTION
Marlou Ruijter
LAST CALL FOR ENTRIES!
Precisely 2000 artists from all over the world will be participating in the
Millennium Art Collection, an international art project which aims to focus
on the beauty of the earth.
Theme of the project is: 2000 Reasons to Love the Earth.
The 2000 Foundation initiated this project for the Millennium-year in order
to combine art with a consideration for the environment.
The works or art will feature in a unique book of 640 pages, as well as on
several exhibitions around the world.
This publication will form an unparalleled collector's item for art lovers
in celebration of the Millennium-year. The exhibition will provide visitors
with a round the world artistic trip in just one visit.
The 2000 Foundation selected over 1900 professional artists out of 104
countries. Therefore some 100 artists are still welcome to complete the
amount of 2000. The deadline is February 7, 2000.
The task of the artist is to contribute a work of art, which contains one
reason to love the earth. Respect for the planet as a provider of life and
as a source of beauty is essential to its survival. Thus the slogan for the
event is quite appropriate: 'One Earth, One Future and 2000 Reasons to love
it!"
Artists who are interested in completing the 2000 can submit their
application with a slide or a photograph of the work to the 2000 Foundation.
A jury composed of museum directors and curators will select the winners in
16 categories with prizes up to $ 20.000.
The Millennium Art Collection is a great opportunity for national artists to
achieve international recognition.
Entry forms can be found at www.millennium-art.nl under 'Arts Olympics' or
make application to fax number ++31.20.600.2670.

button on the "information" screen and you get an error message. It's
also a bit late to apply by mail from most countries, since the deadline is
the 31st of January. Is there a way to apply by e-mail, appending the image
as an attachment?
I was puzzled by the mention of the best "figurative" artists: " The best
figurative artists will be invited to represent their country to ensure the
top
quality of the collection." Is this a competition for figurative art (art
representing the human body) only, or are other types of work eligible as
well? If I may be permitted to editorialize here, it is the human capacity
for
self-absorbtion at the expense of other life-forms that is at the root of
many
of our environmental problems. If this is really a show about "how to love
the earth" and a "complete survey of art expressions in the world." it seems
strange to limit it to images of people, however well-done.]
