Description: This award recognizes the visual art talents of Golden Key members in nine categories – painting, drawing, photography, sculpture, computer-generated art/graphic design/illustration, mixed media, instrumental performance, vocal performance, and dance.
Scholarships Available: At least one winner in each category will receive $1,000 (USD). If there are insufficient submissions in any one category, Golden Key reserves the right to not make an award in that category.
Eligibility: Those eligible are undergraduate, graduate and post-graduate members who are currently enrolled in classes at a degree-granting program.
Criteria: Quality of work submitted, as determined by the selection committee.
Application requirements:
1. Follow the instructions to Register Your Scholarship Application. During this process you will be prompted for an ACCESS KEY. The ACCESS KEY is GKIHS.
2. Print out the cover page from the online registration and use it as the cover page for your entire application.
3. Attach the following required documentation:
For visual arts: Include slides, photographs or a CD of photographs (preferred). Do NOT submit the artwork itself as it will not be considered or returned to the applicant. Only one entry per member per category will be accepted. A "series" of related, themed photographs would be considered as ONE entry - a "collection" of photographs would not. The maximum number of images in portfolios or series is 8.
For performing arts: The entry must be submitted on VHS tape or DVD (preferred). Compact discs (CDs) are accepted for original musical composition ONLY. Performances may not exceed 10 minutes in length. If performing as part of musical ensemble, you must specify your part. As this is a performance award, original compositions must be performed by the applicant in order to be considered.
The following guidelines apply for BOTH visual and performing arts submissions:
Only ONE entry per member per category will be accepted.
Only ONE submission per CD/DVD will be accepted. If you are applying in more than one category, you will need to send a separate CD/DVD for each category.
CD/DVDs should be sent in a CD/DVD case. Also, DVDs need to be Standard Size. Make sure to check that the CD/DVD plays in a different player than it was created on prior to mailing your application.
All images should be submitted as either PDF, JPEG or TIFF files.
Application materials (Slides, Photographs, CDs, DVDs, etc.) will NOT be returned to the applicant.
4. By the postmark deadline date, send the required documents, including cover page or your application will NOT be processed, by fax to 615-627-9685 or mail them to the appropriate address listed below:
