Put a Caption to This Artsy Photo and Win!

19 Jul 2012 by Courtney Jordan

I love, love, love the New Yorker's back page--where they give you an illustration and you write in with a caption that you think goes with the image. Some are funny, some are curious, some are just plain silly, but it just goes to show the power images have to spark our imaginations.

Well, we can't let the New Yorker have all the fun! Here's an artsy image that is sure to spark your imagination. Leave a comment with your caption below by Sunday, July 22nd, 11.59 PM, and you could be randomly selected to win an American Artist bundle prize.

If you have any questions, consult the Artist Daily Contest rules page.

Can't wait to see your captions!
