THE FACE OF 2008 CONTEST

This competition is to celebrate the launch of our new club.*Le-Visage (which opens formally TODAY), having been created as a means to celebrate the face in every shape or form; whether it be old, young, beautiful, ugly, distorted, transcendent. Represented by all mediums, traditional art, digital art, photographic, sculptural, artisan crafts and literature etc.

The competition is to create a piece of art either visual or using the written word that celebrates the Face of 2008, and in a way that encapsulates and portrays the face within a contemporary context, e.g. THE FACE OF 2008.
