13th Annual Showgirl Art Competition
For 2020, in light of the coronavirus challenges, we have reformatted the Showgirl Art Competition to online. To expand participation and artistic expression this year we encourage and will accept various art forms of your choice as long as it represents the iconic, classic showgirl/dancer from the stage show spectaculars.
The links of interest page will help direct you to websites with collections of photos and costume sketches that document the stage show spectaculars, and the Showgirl Legacy Foundation Facebook page also has references and photos.
We look forward to a great year of exceptional artwork!
