RULES OF THE 2019 PRIZE
THEME:
International Day of Persons with Disabilities
DISABILITY PRIDE. HIDDEN DISABILITIES
1. THE THEME
For the International Day of Persons with Disabilites, which the United Nations celebrate every year on 3 December, the Associazione Premio Eleanor Worthington proposes the prize giving event of the sixth year of the Prize in memory of Eleanor Worthington, for students of Art in tertiary education.
Eleanor Worthington (York, UK, 1982 – Urbino, Italy, 2008) suffered lifelong from a severe form of epilepsy and learning and behavioural difficulties, and spent her last five years immobile and confined to a wheelchair, unable to speak, and only expressing herself with her eyes and face. Beyond her disabilities, she was a person of high intelligence and sensibility, and with a great force of personality. She succeeded in having a life full of affection, social relations, and experiences, both in the UK and in Italy, where she attended all the years of the Istituto Statale d’Arte (now Liceo Artistico) in Urbino.
As the theme for this year’s Prize the Associazione Premio Eleanor Worthington proposes:
International Day of Persons with Disabilities.
DISABILITY PRIDE. HIDDEN DISABILITIES
Many factors which impose limitations on daily activities are not at first identifiable: diabetes, heart problems, bipolarism, depression, reduced hearing and/or eye sight, make life difficult, to a more or less serious degree, in personal life and in relationships with other people. But other people often do not understand the problem, or realize it after delay, and prefer not to interact. Isolation grows, and can by itself generate further difficulties.
Candidates are invited to explore the theme through various techniques (eg painting, sculpture, illustration, animation, graphic design, engraving, jewellery making, photography, textiles, design, lettering, and new technologies), also with reference to body expression like miming, sign language, sport disciplines, fitness and dance.
