Hi artists,

I am recently returned from The Wild Coast of Spain having had the honour of attended a Master Class with Javier Arizabalo, an IBEX Master Artist, gentleman and one of the greatest artist of our time.  I was already full of inspiration when The Spanish Tourism Office in Ireland reached out to let me know that they are running an arts competition called “Spain Your Muse” – www.spainyourmuse.com

“Spain Your Muse” will run for three months and is open to anyone resident in Ireland willing to submit a work of art inspired by Spain in any of its 5 categories*: Videoart, Photography, Poetry, Illustration & Painting. Works can be uploaded to the website and will be made public to any visitors who want to vote for their favorites.

It is the popular vote who will decide who wins the prize assigned to each category at the end of the promotion in September. Participants will be encouraged to share their work on social media to reach a bigger audience.

For those who simply decide to visit the website and vote, they will automatically enter in the competition to win one of the prizes (the getaway by Region of Valencia & Valencia City).

The sponsors and the six prizes* offered are the following:

Region of Valencia & Valencia City: 2 nights stay for 2 people in a design hotel in Valencia, return flights, a guided tour to explore the city from the perspective of design, two Valencia Tourist Cards and a goody bag including unique articles form top Valencian Designers.
