WISHLIST FOUNDATION HOSTS CONTEST
FOR PEARL JAM FAN ART

 

 Calling all Pearl Jam fan artists! The Wishlist Foundation, a Pearl Jam fan nonprofit organization, is sponsoring a contest for fans to create the graphic that will be used to help promote the 2013 Wishlist Foundation Fall Tour Preparty Fundraisers.

 Entries should be original art representative of Wishlist Foundation, our passionate fan community and the spirit of Pearl Jam.  The image will contain a summary of all of the preparty fundraiser dates, locations and beneficiaries for the fall Pearl Jam tour.

 Original art can be created in 2D or 3D in any medium such as wood, steel, clay, collage, fabric, mixed media, original photography, ink, paint, digital illustrations, etc., however entries must be digital and contain the required information. (For example: you can create 3D art by sculpting a music note out of cheese and use macaroni letters to list the fundraiser dates and locations – but you must photograph your work and send it to us as a high-resolution digital file.  P.S. do not use this example as a submission. It will be disqualified.)

 Wishlist Foundation volunteers that are organizing the fall tour preparties will be judging the contest and will vote to determine the winner. The winning art will be used on our website, social media, marketing materials and printed handbills. The winner will receive the gift of a Wishlist goodie bag stuffed with t-shirts, a poster and other sweet surprise items.
