Contest Rules

Art with a strong Political or Social messageI recently had a collection of satirical images of our Prime Minister in an exhibition. People either praised, loved and immediately bought one or complained loudly that they were not art and should be removed. Their opinions did not really matter to me but what did matter was the fact that they each had a strong opinion after looking at my art.
For me a primary role of art in all of its forms is to make people think and react.

With that in mind I invite you to submit artwork in any media that highlights issues normally swept under the carpet of political incorrectness and social impropriety... Artwork that people either cheer for or want to tear off the wall... Artwork with a real strongly held message being delivered by an artist with true feeling and emotion.

Rules: 2 images per member

All submissions must have a clear message... no 'just shock value' images.
Passion, cleverness and wit appreciated more than amazing drawing skills though a combination of all four would not go unnoticed at the vote.

I will remove images that do not fit the contest criteria
