If you are an aspiring artist, Heineken is looking to give you a chance to have your art seen by the entire nation. The $5,000 cash prize that you get isn’t too shabby either.
Beginning today, Heineken will let artists upload their original artwork to the Heineken Black History Month tab on Heineken’s Facebook page. The contest will last until February 17th.
Between February 18th and the 29th, Heineken will leverage its Facebook Community to cast votes for their favorite design. The top ten submissions with the most votes will be considered by a panel of judges to decide the final winning artist. Entries will be judged on creativity and originality (60%), as well as each artist’s portrayal of Black history (30%), and Heineken (10%). The winner will be announced on March 8th, 2012.

Heineken will provide one lucky consumer a chance to win $5,000 and an opportunity to have their artwork featured in the 2013 Heineken Black History Month Advertising Campaign. The winning artwork will be featured across national print, digital, in-store point of sale, and out of home advertising during Black History Month in 2013.
As long as you are 21 years of age and have artwork that pertains to Black History Month, you can enter. You can get further information about the contest on Heineken’s Facebook page. Best of luck to all!
