The bar for nonprofit/tax-exempt/religious groups is incredibly low.
Local Republican club advertising this art contest in their emails.
Wow. Recruit 6-7 year olds, who cannot know what they are truly doing (beyond making “art”, much like doing “science”), all the way to college students, who haven’t lived the experience or who have been brainwashed to see the world in only one way. Use the folks who have little to no real world experiences, and thus whose worldview, and work, reflects that. Use those who either don’t have the ability to think or whose ability hasn’t yet matured. Use the “winner” of this “contest” as it would go hand-in-hand with the premise of the organization.
No, I haven’t looked at the fine print, but it wouldn’t surprise me that the nonprofit is going to use the artwork in its next campaign and say that they paid the artist, since they gave out the prize money. Cynical, yes.
