Go mobile is this summer providing young artists aged 16 to 28 with a scrumptious opportunity. By entering their work of art for the go mobile Share-Your-Flair Competition, artists stand a chance of winning a one-month scholarship, all expenses paid, to a prestigious art academy in Italy. The lucky winner will have the luxury of choosing which of the following international art academies to attend: the Angel of Art School, the Lorenzo de’ Medici, the Art & Heart Studio and the Studio Maragoni, all located in Florence, as well as the Istituto Italiano di Fotografia in Milan. Tutorship, flight, accommodation and all travel expenses are included in the prize.
The art competition is part of go mobile’s recently launched “Share Your Flair” initiative, that involves a program aimed at allowing young budding artists the possibility of exhibiting their works within a professional setting. Apart from the main prize, in fact, a total of 30 entries will be short-listed and will subsequently feature in a final art exhibition. A total of 12 works from the exhibition, including the overall winning entry, will also be included in the go mobile limited edition Corporate Calendar 2007. Beside from giving emergent artists the chance of exhibiting and receiving recognition for their work, go mobile will also be donating all the proceeds from the event to charity.
“Innovation and creativity have always been at the heart of go mobile’s philosophy, and such attributes are also fertile within the sphere of visual arts. It is for this reason that we are very proud to be launching the “Share-your-Flair” initiative as it is always a great pleasure to assist in the development of young talent” said Mr. Albert Gouder, go mobile Marketing Manager.
A learning experience in a foreign art institution is something that young, local artists dream about. Getting off the rock, meeting new and different people, and receiving foreign professional tutorship is definitely an adventure few would consider turning down. go mobile is entrusting a panel of local and international judges the task of evaluating the works, and guarantees impartiality. Applications are currently open and available, along with terms and conditions, on www.go.com.mt/shareyourflair. The deadline is 31 July 2006. Such an uncommon opportunity in the local art scene is hard to come by; it is for this reason that young artists are encouraged to apply and submit their work. So, if you are an upcoming artist, aged between 16 and 28, and think you have the flair and potential to succeed, Go Mobile is urging to take this challenge!
