Artcritical Announces Valentine's Day Love Letter Competition for Artworks
Artcritical launched a creative competition inviting participants to write love letters addressing art. Entries could be directed to specific artworks, an artist's body of work, or even elements within an image, such as the vertical to the horizontal in a Mondrian painting or Venus to Mars in a Botticelli piece. The deadline for submissions was St Valentine's Day, with the winning entry scheduled for publication at midnight on that date. A romantic mystery prize was also offered to the best submission. Participants were instructed to submit their texts via the comments box on the Artcritical website or through a provided email link. The competition was announced on February 9, 2011, through Artcritical's platform, encouraging imaginative engagement with art through personal, affectionate narratives.
