These two changes have increased the competitiveness of the contest. I think that eases people's minds and makes their decision to enter a little bit easier. This also encouraged Meyer to enter the contest. A selection committee of 12 invited judges chooses the winning artwork, Vanhorn said. Not only is Meyer a past winner of the contest, she is now part of the panel of judges for the 2002 contest.
Art is such a personal thing and it means different things for different people.
I think the right artwork will just pop out and grab me as something that we can all identify with. Although Vanhorn is not certain how many entries there are per year, she said she thought there were about 40. To students considering entering the contest, Meyer has some advice. You have nothing to lose and the recognition you get as an artist from fellow students and staff at CU makes you feel so good. The spring and fall 2002 Cover Art Contest is being held between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m., no comma after the time Tuesday, April 3, at the CU Boulder Recreation Center.
