In yet another endeavor to expand and promote a vibrant online arts community, Imagekind is excited to announce its partnership with EBSQ for it’s upcoming juried show ”The Art of the Equestrian“. All Imagekind artists are encouraged to join in on the fun and add an entry. One winner will be chosen, and we are happy to provide some pretty sweet prizes! And of course, all submissions will be available as museum quality art prints on Imagekind - offered, as always, at the artist’s own price.

If you are not an EBSQ artist, you should learn more and sign up. For those of you who already members of EBSQ, here is the rundown. Over the entire month of October EBSQ is featuring a contest that centers on the theme of the equestrian. Now, keep in mind, just because your art contains a horse, doesn’t guarantee it is eligible for this contest. Horse art is great, and can be pretty amazing. However, this particular contest requires not only a horse, but a rider as well. You can find the official definition of equestrian right here. The show is open for entries as of today, and the deadline is October 25, so make sure you get your submission in! All artwork will be featured in special page on Imagekind for the month of November.

Once you have the art you want to submit for the contest, it will be featured on both EBSQ and Imagekind, so make sure you are signed up with us, or your entry won’t be featured. After October 25, one artist will be selected and win the following prizes:

• A $100 gift certificate, good for anything you can create or buy on Imagekind.
• A free one-year Imagekind Platinum account(note: If you already have a Platinum account, we will simply add this on to your current membership.)
• A free media kit of Imagekind’s fine art paper and canvas samples.
• A free print on your choice of paper at any size your digital file will allow.
• Your profile featured on Imagekind’s homepage for one week.

Make sure you follow the requirements and sign up correctly. As stated on the EBSQ entry form:

An artist’s statement is required with every entry. Tell us about your materials, process and something about why you chose to represent your subject in the manner or media that you did. Your statement is an important element in presenting your work online and helps make your work more accessible for the viewer. As texture or other small elements may be pivotal to the piece, detail shots are encouraged.

Keep in mind, all work must be shown on both EBSQ and Imagekind to be eligible.  So make sure your work is recognized - include “ebsq” and “equestrian” in your tags on Imagekind.

We think that about covers it.  Just follow the directions found on both the EBSQ blog post and Prospectus. Send any other questions over to edu@ebsqart.com.

We really look forward to seeing some of our amazingly talented members show off their work. Good luck everyone and let the race begin!
