SASA Art Competition
SASA presents: Our very first ever Art Competition!
Send us your design on any ancient world culture or geographical region for a chance to get your art featured on all merchandise pieces in our Bazaar!
Theme:
Friends & Enemies
Our theme Friends & Enemies can be broad or as specific as you, the artist, can make it; as long as it has ancient inspiration!
For example, an image that relates to or represents the relationship between two ancient states is applicable, as is an artistic rendition of children playing together with an animal, as is a drawing of an object that would be used by friends e.g. a symposium cup.*
Disclaimer: The artwork you submit will - if you win - be the property of SASA and can be modified for use on the SASA Bazaar
