Cover Art Contest

The BSYO is seeking music-related artwork to become the cover of our 2011-2012 season program. This program will be distributed at our concerts to audiences of 2,500+ people. The winning artwork also will be reproduced for other BSYO materials such as posters, brochures and compact disc covers.  

Winning Entry

The winning artist will be featured with a photo and biography in the BSYO’s 2011-2012 season program and receive a certificate of achievement. The winning artist and art teacher also will be recognized on-stage during a BSYO concert and receive a gift prize. The winning artwork will be professionally framed and presented to the winner at that time. All entries will be featured in a “gallery” at a BSYO concert, to which each applicant will receive free tickets to attend.  

Judging

Decisions of judges are final. The judges/BSYO reserve the right not to select a winner if they deem that no appropriate artwork has been submitted.

2010 Winner

2009-10 by Allan Nalven

 

Allan Nalven, Cocoa Beach Jr./Sr. High  

The piece he prepared for the BSYO Cover Art Contest was most heavily influenced by Van Gogh’s ink drawings and other Impressionist pieces.  The swirls and free forms reflected in this style emulate the way one might represent music if asked to draw an image of it.  

Art Gallery Show

All entries to the Cover Art Contest were viewed at the BSYO concert on March 6, 2011 at Holy Trinity Episcopal Academy.  Art was showcased in the lobby prior to the show.  

Thank you to Art Expressions for professionally framing our cover art entry each year!
