 Deadline: June 19, 2009

 VSA arts ( http://www.vsarts.org/ ), an international nonprofit  organization working to help create a society where people with  disabilities learn through, participate in, and enjoy the arts,
 and Volkswagen Group America ( http://www.volkswagengroupamerica.com/ )  are now accepting entries for Accelerate, a juried exhibition  of young emerging artists with disabilities.

  The program is open to artists between the ages of 16 and 25 who  are living in the United States and who have a physical, cognitive, mental, or sensory disability. Submissions must be original
 work completed within the last three years and after the onset of  disability.

 Eligible media include, but are not limited to, paintings and  drawings (oil, watercolor, acrylic, pencil, or charcoal), fine  art prints, photography, computer-generated prints, digital art,
 and time-based media (video, film). Work must have a visual component. Both representational and abstract work are welcomed.

 The competition will present one grand prize of $20,000, a first  award of $10,000, a second award of $6,000, and twelve awards of  excellence of $2,000 each.

 Complete entry guidelines are available at the VSA arts Web site.
