CALL for ENTRIES:
Rosen Outdoor Sculpture Competition
The Rosen Outdoor Sculpture Competition & Exhibition is a national juried competition presented annually by the Turchin Center for the Visual Arts on the campus of Appalachian State University in Boone, North Carolina.
Made possible by the generosity of longtime arts supporters Martin & Doris Rosen, this national, juried competition continues a long-held tradition of showcasing the best of large-scale, contemporary American sculpture. Each year, 10 sculptures are selected and are situated in outdoor, public settings across campus. A cash prize is awarded to the artist whose work is chosen as that year’s Rosen Award winner.
Since its establishment in 1987, The Rosen has become an integral part of An Appalachian Summer Festival, the university’s annual multi-arts celebration, with the announcement of the Rosen Award winner coming during the festival’s annual Sculpture Walk with that year’s juror.
ELIGIBILITY: The 25th Rosen Outdoor Sculpture Competition and Exhibition is open to artists currently residing in the US and at least 18 years of age. Artists exhibited in previous Rosen Competitions are not eligible to enter for three years. Previous recipients of the Martin and Doris Rosen Award are not eligible to enter for five years.
