In
preparation for the maiden award of the Obafemi Awolowo
Leadership Prize, The Obafemi Awolowo Foundation has called for designs
of the Prize Certificate, medal and plaque.
In a statement at the weekend signed by the Executive Director Dr. Olatokunbo Awolowo-Dosumu, the Foundation explained that the award would take place “around March 6, 2013”.
“The Foundation has decided to open the designs for the Award Certificate, Medal and Plaque to allow for competition and it is, therefore, calling on interested artists to submit such designs, which will be critically adjudged by an expert Art Selection Committee, made up of some of the most accomplished Nigerian artists, after which the winning designs will be selected”.
The Foundation further explained: “We envisage that the medal will be cast in metal and the plaque can be made of glass, Perspex or wood. The certificate will be an original painting on high quality art paper”.
Participation is open to artists of all ages and varying accomplishments. The winners will be rewarded with “modest cash prizes”. But the Foundation added that “more than the financial reward, however, is the honour that being the creators of the designs on the symbols of the Obafemi Awolowo Leadership Prize will confer upon the winners, in perpetuity”.
While inviting students of creative arts and professional artists to the contest, the Foundation advised all interested participants to contact the secretariat located along Gbagada Phase 2, Lagos, for more details just as it has set November 30, as the closing date.
