#vanguardcapturinginjustice Art Contest

The Vanguard will be hosting its first art contest on Facebook and Twitter. Artists are asked to post a visual art piece concerning the theme, “Capturing Injustice.” The theme “Capturing Injustice” stems from the Vanguard’s goals of transparency, accountability and fairness, and reflects its values with the Court Watch program. Artists are asked to present a piece of visual artwork that addresses injustice in the criminal justice system which may consider issues in the court, legal, or prison systems. Artwork must be a still piece within 1200 x 630 pixels and follow the other listed guidelines.

Three winners will be chosen by the Vanguard Board and two winners will be chosen by public vote (the art with the most likes on Facebook/Twitter). Winners will all be written about in the Davis Vanguard (the 1st place winner receives an individual article; 2nd place, 3rd place, and Popular Vote winners receive a shared article). The contest submissions open October 9, 2019, and end on November 22, 2019.
