Candidates must submit their material no later than 12:00 pm on October 11 of 2011 to the following address: C/ Cánovas del Castillo, 41, 11004 Cadiz, Spain. Tel: (956) 221-223. Applicants must indicate the name of the event: "XII Certamen Fernando Quiñones." For the "Painting" category, participants may choose any theme and technique to create no more than three works not previously awarded in any other competitions; works must be submitted on stretchers or already framed. The winning paintings will become part of the JOVENARTE collection owned by the Town Hall of Cadiz. This modality offers a purse of 3,700 euros that will be divided in the following manner: First Prize will receive 1,500 euros and a diploma; Second Prize will receive 1,200 euros and a diploma; and Third Prize will receive 1,000 euros and a diploma. For the "Sculpture" category, participants may also choose any theme and technique to create their work. Participants may initially submit the actual work or a sketch of the work on paper or in digital media that includes a description of the piece. If the work is selected, then the author must present the actual work at the event¿s address. Authors may participate with a maximum of three works that adhere to the requirements already mentioned in the "Painting" modality. For the "Photography" modality, participants may submit a maximum of three black and white or color photographic series-not less than three, but not more than four, photographs each-that center on any theme. The photographs-images that were never before entered in any other competition-must be nonetheless about a single theme. A purse of 1,700 euros has been allocated for this category and it will be divided in the following manner: An Honor Prize for the amount of 1,000 euros, and a Prize to a single photograph for 700 euros. Both prizes will be accompanied with a diploma.
