Contest Rules. Expiration for entry is September 30, 2010.

I&#39;m sure there will be many more after this since it was mentioned in the paper over the weekend. Within a week of the deadline, the public will be able to vote for two weeks for their favorites and the winner will be interviewed and featured in the Washington Post newspaper. This is a great opportunity, even just for exposure. Here are a just a few that stood out to me, in no particular order of preference: Graphite: Paintings: Textile: Sculpture: Photography: Video
