In honor of Women’s History Month – and just because it’s a cool thing to do – United Airlines is hosting a contest that has as its prize an invite to paint an airplane.
United Airlines’ Her Art Here contest is designed to find and uplift underrepresented female artists, the carrier says, and will choose two female artists to visually represent either New York / New Jersey or California (key regions for United).
The winning artists will work renowned artist Shantell Martin to design the exterior of a United Boeing 757.
That’s pretty great exposure for the artists’ work.
Want to enter? Here’s the link to get you to the page for more information in United’s Her Art Here contest.
Entries can be from anyone who identifies as a woman who lives in the United States. Each entry must visually represent New York/New Jersey or California and all entries will be reviewed by a panel of experts, who will chose six finalists, three from each region.
The public will then be invited to vote on the submissions and there will be two grand prizes; one for each region.
Finalists and winners will also receive their own open gallery show, 100,000 United MileagePlus award miles and have their artwork on display in United Club locations and United Polaris lounges.
Deadline to enter is March 24, 2019. Good luck!
