"Imagine Me" Body Image Art Competition

In an attempt to promote healthy awareness and acceptance of body image, the International Association of Eating Disorder Professionals Foundation (iaedp) has created the "Imagine Me" body image art competition.  In its third year of competition, mannequins are used as a unique and realistic palette for artistic expression.  This Body Image Mannequin Art competition was created in 2010 as an important part of iaedp's annual education symposium.

While this contest is open to the public, iaedp strongly supports the involvement of national and international treatment centers and private practices.    Entries are accepted from October 1, 2012 through January 15, 2013 and are judged on clarity of theme, creativity and originality, quality of composition and design, and the overall impression/presentation.  Mannequins can be male or female forms in different body shapes and sizes, and entries must be electronically submitted to iaedp using photographs in jpeg format.  Winning mannequin entries will be revealed and spotlighted at the 2013 Annual Symposium in Las Vegas, where they will be auctioned off with proceeds going towards the iaedp Foundation.
