The winning artist of a Brighton art contest could receive up to $550 in cash prizes, and will share a $2,000 purse with more than 25 other artists of all ages representing myriad disciplines.
Capture the Heritage is a joint project between the Brighton Arts Council and the Architectural Conservancy of Ontario – Brighton branch (ACO), and celebrates Brighton’s rich structural and landscape heritage through visual arts. Artists compete for prizes in three categories – painting/sketching, photography, and multimedia. To encourage younger participants, organizers divided entrants into three age groups – 12 and younger, 13 to 19, and 20 and older.
Contest organizers made a deliberate decision to offer equal prizes throughout the age divisions. The first place winner in each discipline and each age group will receive $100, second place pays $50, and third place pays $25. The ACO will present a $50 prize to an entrant of its choice, and a Best-of-Show prize will pay an additional $400.
