Pain Awareness Month Art Competition

 It will run from the 1st to the 30th September, with successful entries will be exhibited on the 9th October at Tabac in Auckland CBD.

the competition is open to everyone, those with chronic pain and those without, professional artists and passionate amateurs. The theme is to show Art Inspired By Pain.  It’s broad so as to include more of the aspects of chronic pain – the good things it can bring as well as the bad.

Participants are invited to submit art from any medium, though entries need to be displayable online.  Submissions should include 3 photographs of the work and a completed entry form available from www.painmonth.co.nz. Entry forms should be emailed to art@painmonth.co.nz . Mailing details are available on the website

Once received, entries will be posted on the website forum and on the Pain Awareness Month facebook page, for public comments and to be voted on for the peoples choice awards presented throughout the competition. At the end of the month, votes will be tallied and the entry with the most votes in total will be made part of the silent auction on the 9th October along with the entries chosen by our panel of judges.
