Aspiring artists have until Thursday to enter the Emirates Skywards Future Artists Competition 2011.

The winning artwork will be displayed on the Skywards 2012 membership cards, Emirates award-winning frequent flyer programme.

The competition is open to all artists, regardless of medium: sculpture, photography and paintings are welcome. Three winning entries will be chosen and the image of the selected artwork will be used on the Skywards membership cards in 2012, as well as in all supporting online and offline communications and promotional material. Each artist’s name will be displayed alongside their winning artwork.

In addition to the year-long global exposure of their art on the Skywards membership cards, the three winners will receive $5,000 and will be flown to Dubai, where their winning entry and design portfolio will be exhibited at the Art Dubai fair in early 2012.

The panel of judges will create a shortlist of entries which will then be judged by the Skywards members through a voting process on the website.

The website for submitting entries, competition rules and voting is www.skywardsfutureartists.com.

The deadline for submitting artwork is Thursday, voting by Skywards members is open between August 9 and 23 and the winners will be announced in September.
