Museum Seeks Submissions for Church Art Competition

With the goal to bring in submissions from around the world, the Museum of Church History and Art invites members to submit their original artwork for the Eighth International Art Competition.

The competition takes place every three years and highlights work by both professional and amateur Latter-day Saint artists. This year’s competition is centered on the theme “Remembering the Great Things of God.”

Approximately 225 pieces reflecting this theme will be selected for display in an exhibit beginning in March 2009.

To make the submission process easier for artists worldwide, submissions will be accepted online through a new Internet-based submission tool. All submissions must be entered online or postmarked by October 10, 2008.

For information on submitting by mail, contact the museum at:
