2019 South Walton Artist of the Year | Call for applications | deadline: Sep 12 2018

August 17, 2018 – Visit South Walton is now accepting applications for the 2019 South Walton Artist of the Year award. Now in its 17th year, the award seeks to recognize a local artist who lives and works in Walton County and whose signature style embodies the creativity and beauty for which the area is known.

Artists who meet the criteria can download the application and instructions from Visit South Walton’s webpage; direct link: https://www.visitsouthwalton.com/artist-of-the-year.

The South Walton Artist of the Year award is a community program that showcases local artists, promoting the selected artist’s work throughout the year through a variety of publicity opportunities and events. The winner will also receive an award of $4,000 in exchange for a piece of artwork that will be put on public display.

“Art is an important part of the South Walton experience – it enhances the quality of life for locals and visitors to our area, and each year our Artist of the Year program gives us an opportunity to put a spotlight on one of the artists who helps our community thrive,” says Visit South Walton Executive Director Jay Tusa. “Past, current and future South Walton Artists of the Year are terrific ambassadors for South Walton and our vibrant arts scene.”

Submitted artwork will be evaluated based on criteria such as originality, authenticity, and overall appeal. Finalists will be interviewed in-person and must present 3 examples of artwork during that panel discussion.

The deadline for submissions for the South Walton Artist of the Year program is September 12, 2018. The winner will be announced at the Perfect in South Walton Awards ceremony in January. Winners for niche categories will also be announced at that time.
