***Swatch / Art Rules / Competition***

Swatch and the TTR World Snowboard Tour are pleased to announce the third annual Swatch Art Rules Design Contest. It offers artists the chance of a lifetime to have their artwork featured on the 2012/13 TTR World Tour Trophy and matching Swatch Tour Watch.

Swatch Art Rules is an excellent opportunity for an artist to showcase their work and break into the spotlight through the snowboard and art worlds. This year’s installment of the design contest presents a challenge to the artists of the world: submit a graphic design that expresses the themes of Progression and style. Progression and style are two elements that run through all aspects of snowboarding and an artist’s interpretation of these themes will make the TTR Trophy and Swatch Tour Watch aesthetically complete.

A jury evaluates the artworks and invites 3 nominees to the Swatch Art Rules Night where the final winning design will be unveiled.

Multiple entries are permitted per person. There is no entry fee.

Eligibility


This contest is open to anyone 18 years of age or older at the date of entry.

Minors, who are under the age of 18 years on the date of entry, are eligible to be selected as the winner only if the minor’s parent or legal guardian signs all forms required hereunder on behalf of such minor.

Prize


The top three nominees will be invited to the Swatch Art Rules Night gala event in May 2012 in the Los Angeles area (USA) where the winning design and artist are set to be unveiled to the world.

In addition to the portfolio-building exposure, the winner also receives a two-week trip to New York City (including travel costs, accommodation and pocket money for 2 people) to soak up all the art and design inspiration of the Big Apple.
