Brad Pitt does it, so does Nelly Furtado even Robert Bateman has been known to. And now you can too. Famous artists have long been donating their artistic talents to help the world.

But the world needs everyone's creative juices, arty inspiration and unique vision to help us move forward. So we're asking you - yes you - to send us your paintings, pottery, photos, prose, or songs.

Your artworks will be displayed on FaceBook to finally get the exposure you deserve! And just how will this help make a difference? Not only will you be awakening your creativity and contributing to the beauty of your local environment, the public will be invited to vote on their favourite piece.

Each vote cast will earn $2. The monies collected from the voting will be donated to One Drop of Hope - our Vancouver Island initiative supporting projects in Kenya. www.findyourmarathon.com/onedrop. The three top vote-getters will have their work auctioned off on March 20th at the See Jane Fly Conference. The monies from the auction will be split between the artist and One Drop of Hope. The most creative 50/50 draw ever!

It's time to take your creative spirit out of the closet, unleash it into the world and participate in the See Jane Fly, Release the Muse! Contest.

Here's how it works...

The Rules:

1. This contest is open to everyone, of any age and from all skill sets - from the basement painter to the night-school writer to the more classically trained. All are welcome!
2. We are seeking original works in any form, format or medium; that expresses your vision of See Jane Fly
3. Works need to be submitted prior to March 14th (early submissions will be accepted and posted March 1st for maximum exposure) and should be accompanied by all your contact information, full name, address, email and phone numbers.
4. Submissions are made to info@wingsevent.com with a digital copy or image (no larger than 1MB). If it is a performance piece please supply us with the You-Tube link. We will contact you shortly after to let you know where and when you can drop off the physical piece for display.
5. All artists will be notified at the end of the contest as to the place and time that they can retrieve their submissions.
6. The winning artists will be announced on Saturday March 20 at the See Jane Fly conference and will be notified via email. A cheque will follow in the amount of 50 percent of the monies raised at the auction.
7. Artists will have an opportunity to sell their work at the See Jane Fly event should they so choose. Your entry to the contest is your agreement to have the work displayed and potentially auctioned (top three selections) at the See Jane Fly Conference.

The Voting:

1. Voting will begin on March 1st with the earliest submissions and continue through to 11am on March 20th.
2. Artists will be given pledge sheets to gather votes for their piece (like you would do for a charity run). Pledge sheets and monies raised need to be submitted by 11am March 20th at The Westerly Hotel, 1590 Cliffe Avenue, Courtenay, BC.
3. Artists are encouraged to develop shameless self-promotion campaigns.
4. We support the idea of voting early and often.
5. There is no restriction on the number of votes you can make.
6. Each vote cast will cost $2 and can be made either at the website www.wingsevent.com, directly with the artist via pledge sheet, or in person at locations to be announced.
