Ok, let’s see how this goes.  I am going to start work on a series of Artistic Nude paintings.  I will be referencing photos of artistic nudes to do the series of paintings.  There will be 15 paintings.

The final models that will be chosen for the paintings, will receive a signed full size color print.  The finished paintings are going to be sold on a stock photo cd.  All 15 models will receive commission money as the Cd’s are sold.  The paintings will also be available for digital download and single print purchases.  (Model percentages will be determined and disclosed to the 15 winners).  All 15 winners of the contest will have to fill out a Model Release forms which will be signed before any paintings can be sold.  Other issues and requests can be discussed after the winners are chosen.

This will great publicity for 15 models, and will be a wonderful way to express the female body in a lovely art form.

So if you are interested, here are the contest entry rules:

1.    Each model can enter up to 5 artistic nude photos to be considered for the final           15 chosen paintings. 
2.    Models must include their names (real name or modeling name is fine) as well as their email address and a link to their modeling site if they have with their photo submissions (if they have a site). 
3.    Models must list the photographer of the photo.  If it is a self portrait, then label the entry as such.
4.    Photo submissions are to be emailed to [email protected]
5.    Photo sizes must be at least 5”x7” in size and at least 72 dpi.  Larger images are fine and preferred.
6.    All entries must be received by June 1, 2005.
7.    The 15 models and photos chosen will be announced on June 12, 2005.
