Calling All Artists Ages 14-24!
Texas Appleseed is looking for art from individuals between the ages of 14 and 24. The art will be featured in the Texas version of the Homeless Youth Handbook. Three other state's versions of this handbook can be found at www.homelessyouth.org. The Texas Homeless Youth Handbook is currently being drafted by lawyers at the worldwide law firm of Baker & McKenzie and the Texas-based company Weatherford International. The handbook will provide youth (14-24) who are experiencing homelessness with Texas-specific knowledge concerning their rights, responsibilities, and available resources as to every major aspect of their lives; from education and employment to foster care and parenting and, of course, housing.
Texas Appleseed will purchase the rights to the art from the creator and the art will be used on the Texas specific pages of the Homeless Youth Handbook website, in hardcopy versions of the handbook, for posters, cards, and any other marketing tools for the handbook. The art piece does not have to be newly created for the purposes of this contest, but it must be original to the submitting artist.APPLICABLE RULES:
