Nordan Art Prize Award Ceremony
Posted: December 3, 2011 Filed under: Nordan Art Prize 5 Comments »
This the first yearly Nordan Art Prize Award Ceremony was an exciting event! It all started off with the announcing of the Nordan Art Prize award itself and then ColeMarie Soleil played her magical tunes for us. There ended up being a tie and the two winners, Rebeca Bashly and Claudia222 Jewell each received $L25,000! These two individuals have proven tireless in their dedication to their creative work in Second Life, constantly looking for new ways to challenge themselves and learn more about the process. The quality of these artists’ work is outstanding and they have both taken Second Life by storm. The two Nordan Art Prize winners will be included in the online publication Nordan Art: A Retrospective 2010-2011 ( http://issuu.com/nordanart/docs/nordanartretrospective2010-2011), which covers the first year of Nordan Art artists. The Nordan Art Prize jury, consisting of FreeWee Ling, constructivIST Solo, Eliza Wierwight and myself, had selected the winners from the group of artists who showed their work at Nordan Art from July 23, 2010 to July 23, 2011. We excluded for consideration for the prize artists who are no longer in Second Life. I want to take this opportunity to thank all of the artists for showing their work at Nordan Art. You should know that it was incredibly difficult to make a choice. Thanks also to FreeWee Ling, constructivist Solo and Eliza Wierwight for putting in time and effort to select the winners. Many thanks to Huckleberry Hax for helping out with preparations. And thank you also to Jayjay Zifanwe for the mic, which proved to be indispensable! Finally, the second yearly Nordan Art Prize award ceremony will take place on July 23, 2012. At that time we will select a winner from the group of artists who showed their work at Nordan Art from July 23, 2011 to July 23, 2012.

The Nordan Art Prize has historically been awarded monthly as part of the UWA challenge. As the monthly UWA challenge comes to a close, the Nordan Art Prize will continue to be awarded, only now on a yearly basis and in the amount of L$50,000.00, as part of a Nordan Art challenge. The winner will be selected from the artists who have shown their work at the Nordan Art gallery by a jury. The yearly period is the same as the period for the Nordan Art: A Retrospective publication, i.e. the prize will be awarded to an artist who exhibited from July 23, 2010 to July 23, 2011; July 23, 2011 to July 23, 2012 and so on. The recipient of the prize will be mentioned in the book. The first yearly Nordan Art Prize will be awarded retroactively for the year July 23, 2010 to July 23, 2011. The award ceremony will take place on December 1, 2011 at 3 PM SLT at Nordan Art. Please be on the look out for further details in announcements.
