As it has done every year for the past nine years, the Saint-B’Art association is launching its postal art contest. For this edition, let your imagination run wild with a evocative theme full of flavor and poetry: “The Salt of Life.” ” Collages, drawings, paintings, mixed-media pieces… All forms of inspiration are welcome! “It’s up to you to make the postcard format your own and surprise us with your creations,” invites the Saint-B’Art association. Entrants have until March 30 to submit their work.
The postal art contest is part of the Book Festival, which also includes a short story contest. The association notes that postal art is a space for entirely free expression. “This creative process is an education in visual art, an invitation to travel and explore mystery,” writes the association. “This contest combines the beauty of writing with mixed media to create illustrated envelopes.”
The contest has two categories: ages 11 to 18 and 18 and older. The illustrated envelope must be no larger than 30 centimeters by 33 centimeters. The envelope must be stamped with a stamp of the entrant’s choice and mailed to the following address: Association Saint-B’Art, P.O. Box 477, 97133 Saint-Barthélemy. A jury composed of association members will select the winners. The first prize will be 150 euros, the second 120 euros, and the third 90 euros.
