We invite you to participate in Global Voices, an exciting opportunity to contribute your creativity for possible inclusion in a permanent exhibit at the Muhammad Ali Center. Global Voices participants are asked to create an original drawing or written message in any medium and any language.  The submission will be judged and selected works will be incorporated into this ongoing exhibit on Level 4 of the Ali Center. The chosen artwork will be transferred onto tiles for display on the walls and floor of the Global Voices exhibit area.  Other submitted pieces may become part of the Ali Center’s Library and Archives or may be featured as a “virtual exhibit” on the Ali Center’s website.

How to Participate

Participants may create an original work of art including an inspirational drawing, poem, song, quote, etc. that expresses one of the following:

§         A personal hope or goal for the future

§         A special relationship with someone or several others

§         A personal wish for the world

The entry form (downloadable from the link below) includes the required size and format.  All types of media are welcome: pencil, crayon, marker, pen and ink, water color, etc.  Works can be in color or black and white. To help ensure that your work is original, all entries must be signed by the artist in the lower right hand corner of the square.  Because selected entries will be scanned and sized to meet specifications for final exhibition, it is very important that your work is of high quality for the medium displayed and meets the project’s thematic objectives.
