EMBAJADA DE ESPAÑA ----- ABUJA (NIGERIA ) Competition on Nigerian Visual Arts “Dalí: Dreams on Canvas” Rules and Regulations 1. ORGANISATION The competition is organized by the Embassy of Spain in Abuja, with the sponsorship of several Spanish companies present in Nigeria and with the collaboration of the Transcorp-Hilton hotel and the National Gallery of Art, with the aim of promoting young Nigerian artists. The topic for the present edition of the Visual Arts Competition is the commemoration of the 25th years of the death of the famous Spanish artist Dalí.

The artists will have to create an original art work based on this movement, following Dalí’s inspiration. The selection of the winner will be based in the aesthetic and technical quality of the art work, its accuracy to the topic and the originality of the interpretation.
