PRESS RELEASE

WILDWOOD CREST - The Wildwood Crest Creative Arts Council is hosting an art competition for Cape May County residents ages 6 and older. The objective of the contest is to highlight Cape May County's ever-changing architecture.

The competition encourages artists of any age and skill level to show what they love best about Cape May County's architecture from the past, present and future. The competition urges participants to explore ways certain buildings and structures make them feel and to express those feelings through their artwork.

All media are accepted into the competition, including but not limited to watercolor, oil paint, acrylic, pen/ink, clay/ceramic, graphic art, collage, marker, colored pencil and photography.

Submitted artwork must be no larger than 18 x 24 inches.

2D artwork should be framed, mounted or matted with wire ready to be hung on display with the certificate of authenticity attached to the back.

Artwork must be submitted to the Wildwood Crest Pier Recreation Center at 5800 Ocean Avenue no later than Friday, March 10.

Judging will be done by local artist Fredi Daniel and members of the Wildwood Crest Creative Arts Council.
