Los Angeles City Councilman Paul Krekorian said his office is accepting submissions for an art contest commemorating the 100th anniversary of the Armenian genocide.
The contest “is a way to honor the history of the genocide and to highlight the promise of our future,” Krekorian said, MyNewsLA.com reported.
“I hope artists and students who care about human rights will participate and help commemorate the Armenian people’s resilience,” he said.
Submissions are due February 15. The winning artwork will be displayed on a city bus for one month.
Drawings, paintings, digital art and photography are eligible, but not sculptures or large format work, Krekorian also said.
