Artist Foundation of San Antonio Awards
From what I know about some of the projects our Society members are working on, and listening to "Cinco Minutos with You," I know we have some talented members who should take the chance to apply for a "Literary Award" being given by the Artist Foundation of San Antonio.
The following is from their website:
Artist Foundation of San Antonio Awards
In 2007, the Foundation will make its second cycle of awards to artists residing in Bexar County, Texas. Each award is for $5,000 and is made for the creation of new, original work.
The awards are designed to recognize artistic achievement, dedication to an artistic discipline and the potential for further professional development. Awards are made for a proposed project, which may already be in progress but should be completed by the end of the grant period of one year (November 15, 2008). Prior to receiving award funds, artists must sign a contract with the Foundation that specifies certain responsibilities. These responsibilities are found in the Contract and are intended to ensure that the award funds will be used in a manner that satisfies the Foundation's charitable purposes.
Applications are accepted through artistfound.org ONLY.No FAX, e-mail, courier, mail, or other delivery methods.E-mail info@artistfound.org if electronic submission is not possible.
Award Categories
Artists should apply to the appropriate category that best describes their work. If applying in more than one category your work should be unique to each category. The Foundation makes the final determination on eligibility.
In 2007 the Foundation will accept applications in the following award categories. The number of awards granted depends on the number of applicants, the recommendations of the selection panels and the available funds. The application period is August 15, 2007 to September 15, 2007. No applications will be accepted after the September deadline.
