The 2019 APH InSights Art competition is now open.

APH warmly invites artists who are blind or visually impaired to submit
artwork for the 2019 APH InSights Art Competition and Exhibition. For 28
years, our renowned international contest has delighted the senses, provoked
discussion, and allowed artists who have vision loss the opportunity to
share their creative imagination with the world.

Artists may enter original artwork created in any medium, including (but not
limited to) painting, drawing, printmaking, fiber, metal, and wood. This
year's deadline for student and adult artists is March 29, 2019.

Rules and entry forms are available for download here

Winning artwork in nine categories and other selected pieces will be
displayed at the APH InSights Art Exhibit during APH's 2019 Annual Meeting
in Louisville, October 10-12, 2019. We look forward to your participation in
our competition. For more information, please e-mail
