Wide Shue Eyes series have been selected by the International Panel of 12 Judges out of 5000 submissions from 95 countires for a Trophy awarded at the LICC-2010 Award Ceremony at the Soho Theatre in London
Each of the 15 Final Selection winners will receive a segment of the LICC Awards Trophy (slate). When each trophy is fit together, it will form a completed piece of art work, like a jigsaw puzzle.
On the 10th anniversary of LICC, all the artist along with their trophies, will gather together and present their altered trophy. At that time, these piece will be united, combined, and put on display at an exhibition in London. After the exhibition they will be returned to the artists.
We hope each artist employs their own unique method to modify these pieces, so when these separate trophies are placed together, they will embody masterpiece of collaboration. We hope throughout the years these Trophies will be exhibited at museum and galleries and become highly collectible.
