Picasso Phillies Photo Contest!

We're celebrating the final week of Picasso and the Avant-Garde in Paris, which ends on May 2. In honor of Picasso, we're giving away tickets to another hometown favorite, the Phillies!

To enter our giveaway, simply snap a photo of yourself wearing your favorite Phillies gear (hat, jersey, etc) anywhere in the Museum where photography is permitted (so, not in the special exhibition galleries).

Post your photo to the Philadelphia Museum of Art Facebook page or share it via Twitter using the #PABLO hashtag by Sunday, May 2.

The best photo will be featured on the Picasso Posse Blog, and the winner will receive a $100 gift certificate for Philadelphia Phillies tickets, plus two tickets to our upcoming exhibition Late Renoir, opening June 17, 2010.

Additional details....

Oooh! Picasso

Taking the kids to Picasso? Check out this post from mom blogger Melissa Agnert on her fun day at the Museum, and see how you can win a copy of this imaginative children's book written by Mil Nieplod and Jeannyves Verdu, which we love and highly recommend (for adults, too).

Video Contest Alert!

Time to get creative, Picasso vloggers. We want to know your "top 10" reasons for coming to check out the Picasso and the Avant-Garde in Paris exhibition. Make it the topic of a video, short film, or animation spot, and post it to our Facebook page or send it to kari.molvar@philamuseum.org by Fri, April 9th.

We'll choose the best video and air it on this site. What else is up for grabs? The winner will be treated to lunch with the curator of Modern Art, Michael Taylor, and a private tour of the Picasso and the Avant-Garde in Paris exhibition.

So. Start rolling.
