The First Artist Challenge…

Inspiration: Rebecca Baumann

Inspired by the Indian Festival of Colour, Rebecca Baumann’s event-based, colourful smoke work Improvised Smoke Device looks at the role of happiness and celebration.

Recreate a moment of celebration in your life and send us a photo. We’ll choose the 5 entries we think looks the most festive and celebratory and reward it with a colourful goody bag of Onitsuka Tiger product.

Email your response to comp@pv11.com.au by 5pm on Monday, 12 September.

Congratulations to Elaine, Jen Jen and Michael our Week 1 winners. Their images are showcased on our Primavera 2011 Facebook Page.
