HOUNDISM - 2024 FOTH Calendar Artwork Nomination

You’ve probably heard of Surrealism, Impressionism and Cubism… maybe even Fauvism.

But have you heard of Houndism?!

It’s our Friends of the Hound art movement that celebrates the beauty and love we feel for greyhounds.

So ready your paints, pastels, clay, embroidery or whatever medium inspires you and unleash your creativity!

We’d prefer art made with your hands rather than with a computer or phone but are open to seeing your entries.

Ready to submit your artwork?

The 2024 Friends of the Hound Calendar - Houndism is awaiting your art!

Follow the simple steps below to be part of this inspirational artistic endeavour :)

Photo Specifications

Because we are printing the calendar we need high-quality images:

  • When supplying digital files (photographs of paintings or digital artworks), ensure the image is the highest resolution possible (150-300dpi).
  • Image size must be a minimum of 4000 pixels by 3000 pixels.
  • Photos must be taken in landscape as portrait orientated photos generally do not fit well in the calendar pages.

Competition Rules

  1. Submissions open Monday, 1 May 2023 and close 23:59:59 Friday, 30 June 2023.
  2. Artwork can be of greyhounds that have been fostered or adopted through any adoption program (not just Friends of the Hound).
  3. You must have permission from the artist that the photo of the artwork can be used by Friends of the Hound Inc.
  4. The artist retains copyright and moral rights for artwork submitted and gives unlimited and unrestricted permission for Friends of the Hound Inc. to reproduce the artwork for free, in any media, for its non-exclusive use worldwide, for purposes including (but not limited to) use in the calendar, promotion, marketing, and Friends of the Hound's presence on the Internet.
  5. You can nominate as many artworks as you wish.
  6. The Friends of the Hound committee will select the artwork to be included in the calendar. The committee's decision is final and no discussion will be entered in to.
