About the Volcano Art Prize (VAP)

Once again we would like to remind you that the deadline is the 25th of August. Over the years, we have received many interesting artworks from our participants and would like to thank all for your support and participation. We would love to receive an entry from you. Be part of a worthy environmental art competition and take a step forward to help create a lead-safe world.

It’s only $10 for adults in OECD countries to enter, and other adults and all earthlings under the age of 18 enter for free!

Simply create a landscape-orientation image on the theme of lead-safety, by photographing or scanning anything – an artwork or real-life - related to lead (it’s in people/animals/plants/old paint/soil/food/water/products etc) or lead-safety (while renovating/shooting/working with lead) or lead poisoning prevention (testing for lead/detoxing).

Browse our websites – www.lead.org.au and as of today, www.leadsafeworld.com – to develop your own ideas. You can also see the 2013 and 2014 Volcano Art Prize finalists’ entries, for inspiration, at https://volcanoartprize.com/vap-archive/ and for this year's entries see: https://volcanoartprize.com/peoples-choice/.

Please read the Conditions of Entry at the bottom of the home page at https://volcanoartprize.com/ especially noting:

The single digital image must be between 1 MB and 3 MB and in landscape orientation, not portrait orientation. That is, winning entries will be printed in colour on a landscape A4 page.

Submit entries online at https://volcanoartprize.com/submitentry/ before midnight on Monday 25th August 2014.
