Earlier this month, Feet First hosted a Stairway Walks Day that included a SW Queen Anne Stairway Walk that sold out overnight. Granted, there were only 20 spots – but other neighborhoods had openings up to the day of the event. We all love our hidden and not-so-hidden stairways, and they’re apparently popular with visitors to our neighborhood as well.

Now’s your chance to showcase our stairways via an art & photo contest hosted by Feet First. Photographers and artists of all ages and experience levels can submit their two-dimensional art and photos with finalists’ work exhibited in Nord Alley behind Feet First’s Pioneer Square office during the First Thursday Art Walk in Pioneer Square on April 4th from 5pm-8pm.

Adults will compete in the categories of Traditional Art, Photography, and Digital Art and kids will compete in age groups (Grades K-5, Grades 6-8, and Grades 9-12). Judges will be from The American Institute of Architects Seattle, City of Seattle Office of Arts and Cultural Affairs, 4Culture, Seattle Parks & Recreation, and Neighborhood House. The public will also vote for a People’s Choice Award during the First Thursday Pioneer Square Art Walk. Winners will be announced at 6pm on April 4th in the Nord Alley.

The entry deadline is March 15th, with finalists chosen and notified by March 28th. In addition to the award announcement on April 4th, winners will be highlighted on the Feet First website and their artwork will be on display in Nord Alley through the end of May.

Contest rules and an application form are available online.

You don’t have to limit yourself to Queen Anne, but wouldn’t it be great to see our staircases in the final exhibition? Get out your cameras, sketchpads, and easles and start capturing our staircases as art!
