THE COMPETITION:

The purpose of this Sculpture Competition is aimed at Chile’s desire to honor the memory of the Poet Pablo Neruda through a work of sculptural art. The sculpture will be exhibited outdoors on the Cantalao site, donated by the Neruda Foundation, and within a cultural venue created in his name.

Stage I is aimed at a Competition of Ideas, to be specified accordingly, that will be selected by a Pre-selection Committee. The selected projects will receive a monetary prize. During Stage II, these projects will develop their respective proposals for presentation and final award decision by a highly qualified Jury, and the competitors will remain anonymous during the entire process.

The proposed material and facture are unrestricted in order to achieve the artist’s/team’s intention. Nevertheless, the weather conditions of the maritime coast where the work will be exhibited, as well as the low care and maintenance conditions at the location, must be kept in mind.

The proposal must consider the surrounding environment in which the work of art will be set, as well as possible activities that will be carried out to complement and support the project. Thus, the Sculptor will include a multi-disciplinary team that he/she esteems appropriate.
