National Gallery of Canada begins art contest

The National Gallery of Canada in Ottawa has begun a contest for teenagers called "So You Want to Be an Artist?" Until May 21, artists between the ages of 16 and 19 can submit their work online at <http://www.soyouwanttobeanartist.ca>. Public voting will determine 12 finalists, whose entries will be displayed at the gallery for the month of August. A judging panel will select three winners. The first prize winner will receive a two-day trip to Ottawa for a behind-the-scenes tour of the gallery, expert advice on their portfolio and a gift certificate for art supplies. The second and third place winners will also receive gift certificates.

"Since launching in 2011, So You Want to Be an Artist has been growing in popularity among youth, and we hope to see more and more of them enter," said Gary Goodacre, manager of youth and school programs at the National Gallery of Canada. "We are always blown away by the superb quality of the works submitted."
