Pekin, IL (PRWEB) October 05, 2016 -- The International Association of Eating Disorder Professionals Foundation™ (iaedp.com) is proud to present its annual “Imagine Me Beyond What You See” Body Image Mannequin Art Competition, created in 2010 to promote healthy awareness and acceptance of body images. The competition incorporates mannequins to help create a unique and realistic palette for artistic expression.
This is a first call for entries, accepted from October 15, 2016 through December 15, 2016. Judging is based on clarity of theme, creativity and originality, quality of composition and design and the overall impression and presentation.
