FORT WORTH, TEXAS— The American Paint Horse Association (APHA) is currently accepting submissions from individuals who wish to become the official artist of the 2007 World Championship Paint Horse Show. The event is set for June 24–July 7 in Fort Worth, Texas. The winning artist will have their original artwork reproduced as a commemorative fine art print, on the cover of the World Show Program and on World Show merchandise.

The APHA World Show is the largest Paint Horse show on earth, with more than 2,000 horses from across the globe being exhibited. The show offers the winning artist two full weeks of excellent exposure to the Paint Horse community and the public in the North Texas area.

For artwork to be accepted, it must be an original piece that includes a Paint Horse as a subject. Examples include Paints at liberty or in a showing environment. No photographs will be accepted.

“We are looking for a piece that captures the unique qualities of this eye-catching breed,” said APHA Creative Director Paul Zinn. “Paint Horses are truly one-of-a-kind—not one is colored alike and each has their own distinct personality.”
