BEARS INTERNATIONAL CALLING -- JUNE, 2018
This year's Bears International Art Diplomas honour Bear artists in Russia, Spain and Australia:
This year's award diplomas go to photographer/Bear activist Vladimir Bob Lysenko of Moscow, Russia, Venezuelan-born artist, Juan Antino, resident of Madrid, Spain and Albert Koomen ("Bear in the Bedroom" film) of Melbourne, Australia.The winners are invited to submit a photo/sketch/film poster of their work for the growing "travelling" international exhibition of Bears International award winners over the years. (previous award winners are from France, Spain, U.K., Canada).
The exhibition is available for Bear events wishing to add a focus on award-winning Bear art
and photography at their events.
Alas, the diplomas include no monetary renummeration but are awarded with golden appreciation for work well done and for the confirmation that Bears are indeed important contributors to LGBT culture. The diiplomas are also not sent in the snail-mail but are to be handed out in person at some appropriate time and place.)
