The National MS Society is seeking submissions for its 2003 annual art calendar, as part of its ongoing CREATIVE WILL program for professional artists who have MS across the country. Artists selected for this popular program will receive a $100 stipend and at least ten copies of the calendar. In addition, their art and personal stories will be featured as part of a national media campaign, helping to raise awareness about the need for public support of MS research and services.

To submit artwork, please follow the following guidelines:

Artwork submitted must have been created since the onset of the artist’s MS;
Artwork should reflect the theme, “the healing powers of creativity.” How the artwork accomplishes this mission is at the artist’s discretion;
Artwork can be in any two dimensional media, but must be horizontal in format, since it will be reproduced on an 8 ½” by 11” page;
Artwork should be colorful;
All artists should submit brief autobiographies of themselves, including name, address, telephone and email information and a description of how the artwork fits the theme;
Artists should submit reproductions of their work—no original art will be accepted or reviewed. These reproductions can be slides, photos, color photocopies or color computer scans of at least 300 dpi resolution;
Artists who want their entry materials returned must include a self-addressed, stamped envelope, and instructions in the cover letter;

ALL SUBMISSIONS MUST BE POST-MARKED NO LATER THAN WEDNESDAY, MAY 15, 2002 AND BE DELIVERED TO THE NATIONAL MS SOCIETY OFFICE, NO LATER THAN FRIDAY, MAY 17, 2002.
