Call For Entry: Columbus Women's Empowerment Mural

Planned Parenthood is sponsoring a women's empowerment mural and we need YOUR help!! We need you to submit to this mural AND spread to spread the word to anyone you think may be interested.

And...you don't have to be a professional muralist to feel like your submission is mural-worthy. Graphic designers, illustrators, painters, artistically-minded women, doodlers, etc. are all strongly encouraged to submit. The deadline is TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 10th at 6:00 p.m.

So what does female empowerment mean to you? How do race/ethnicity and class intersect with female empowerment? How does empowerment look when traced from generation to generation? Still stuck? The following quotes may help gear you towards a more specific idea (but you don't have to use them.)

“Women are not inherently passive or peaceful. We're not inherently anything but human.” Robin Morgan

"As we strive to be conscious human beings, we situate ourselves more and more as agents of history. The moment we reject being objects, we begin to be the subjects of our desires." Inés Hernández Avila

Have a better idea? If yes, then great! If not, just use whatever comes to your mind when you think about empowerment, whether it be in your own life or the lives of other women.

Guidelines:
- Image must be able to be enlarged to a size of roughly 10' X 15'. Actual size and location of wall to be determined.
- Artists may only use a total of five colors (not including black and white.)
- Up to two images may be submitted for consideration.
- Artists should be able to work with volunteers as they will be helping to paint the finished design.
- Submit your images in JPEG format to Columbusmural@gmail.com
- Visit our blog at columbusmural.blogspot.com
