2013 American Icon Art Competition

Welcome to the 2013 American Icon Art Competition!

This contest was created by one of the leading art festivals in the world, the Sausalito Art Festival. Its mission is to collect, showcase and celebrate a world of iconic images. This year's subject matter is the American Flag which is celebrating its 238th anniversary in 2013.

Digital submissions are welcome. We are looking for photographs and paintings. By exclusively accepting only digital images, we are able to create a very GREEN event—no shipping, containers, energy use or waste!

Deadline for submissions is July 16, 2013.

Selected entries will become part of an exciting multi-media show at the Bay Model, on the Festival grounds during the 2013 Sausalito Art Festival on Labor Day Weekend.

Entries will be judged by a panel of recognized, working professional artists. Cash prizes totaling $2800.00 will be awarded to the winners.The entry fee is $25 for the first submission, $5.00 each for up to 2 additional submissions. Other prizes will include the American icon poster and tickets to the Sausalito Art Festival.The winning images will be published on the American Icon and Sausalito Art Festival websites and in various media outlets.

All entries will be included on the American Icon Art Competition website and will be shown on the final presentation at the Bay Model. Last year, the Golden Gate Bridge audio and video production drew rave reviews from a large number of patrons who attended the Sausalito Art Festival.
