The Grupo de Etnologia e Arqueologia da Lourinhã (GEAL) / Museu da Lourinhã, in co-organization with Dino Parque Lourinhã, launched the 10th edition of the International Dinosaur Illustration Contest (CIID).
The works were evaluated by a panel of judges composed of internationally recognized paleontologists and scientific illustrators, who evaluated the submitted works in various parameters, such as the techniques used and the rigor in which the represented organisms are presented, guaranteeing the quality of the awarded works.
This edition awards 8 works with a total value of €2,450.00, with €1,000 being awarded to the first winner, a value sponsored by Dino Parque Lourinhã, continuing the brand’s mission to contribute to science and culture in Portugal. This year, for the first time, a specific prize was awarded for 3D digital works.
The publication of the winning works of this edition took place on August 6th. The works submitted to this edition of the competition are exhibited at the Municipal Gallery – Centro Cultural Dr. Afonso Rodrigues Pereira, between the 6th and 27th of August, open from Tuesday to Saturday, from 10:30 am to 4:30 pm, and features 32 artists from 9 countries. This edition featured 59 works, including 6 3D works.
The public will thus be able to appreciate these works of art, as well as get to know better the world in which these ancient beings lived.
