HOW TO SUBMIT YOUR ART DIGITALLY

Zoomation 2008 at the Phoenix Zoo wants you to celebrate spring through self-expression. We need you to create art that will be viewed at Zoomation as well as shared with the world on this website.

What does spring mean to you? How do you feel about spring? Do you look forward to spring? Show your impressions and feelings with digital pictures, slide shows, sounds, drawings, short songs, poems, animations or videos. We’ll post them on the official Zoomation website. You’ll be able to see and hear other people’s creative impressions of Spring from around the world. Submit as an individual, a family, a class, a club or team. And if you visit the Phoenix Zoo during the Zoomation event March 12 – 16 and 19 – 23, 2008 you’ll see a selection of the creations “mashed up” and projected as part of the Zoo’s celebration of spring.
