National Disability Employment Awareness Month
Texas Poster Art
CALL FOR ENTRIES
Eligibility and Media:
Each year in October, in recognition of National Disability
Employment Awareness Month, the State of Texas and the Texas
Governor’s Committee on People with Disabilities take the
opportunity to recognize an outstanding artist with a disability who
resides in the State of Texas. The person who is chosen as the
featured artist will have his or her work prominently incorporated
into the Texas NDEAM poster, which is distributed to businesses
throughout the state, and will be a featured guest at the Texas Annual
Employment Awards Ceremony. In addition, the featured artist’s piece
(the original as well as the poster which features the art) will be on
display in the office of the Texas Governor’s Committee on People
with Disabilities, and will occasionally be incorporated into other
art exhibits sponsored by the State of Texas. The winning submission
becomes the permanent property of the Texas Governor’s Committee on
People with Disabilities.
Original 2D and 3D art in all media are eligible. The Texas
Governor’s Committee on People with Disabilities will have the final
authority to define what constitutes an acceptable entry. There is no
entry fee, but all submissions must be accompanied by the formal
submission form.

Each artist should submit an entry in the form of a digital image on
CD (jpeg file), OR as a high-resolution photograph of the artwork, OR
