AANR's Amazing Canvas Nudist Face and Body Painting Event

The Guinness World Record Skinny Dip was a major success. It promoted AANR and nude recreation to the general public. This in turn promoted AANR and AANR clubs and resorts. The success of this event prompted AANR's Public Relations team to create another fun event that will capture the imagination and interest of the public and media. We are calling this event, AANR's Amazing Canvas Nudist Face and Body Painting Event.

With this event we are creating an opportunity for the public to come to AANR resorts, clubs, and parties where they can join in the fun and excitement of nude recreation week. The Public Relations team will create the interest in this event. We encourage all clubs and resorts to invite their local media.

AANR has an excellent reputation with the media, therefore we will not have a co-sponsor like Guinness. This is a 100% AANR event. This will give us more flexibility.

Here Are Details for all clubs, resorts, and AANR members wanting to host body painting parties:

1) AANR will create separate event pages on the www.aanr.com site. Clubs, resorts, and AANR member parties can register to participate in this event on the AANR site. We want to encourage as many people as possible to participate. AANR members can register to have body painting house parties, pool parties, beach parties, etc.

2) Artists and clubs will provide their own body paints, markers, etc. Even Crayola has inexpensive washable paints and markers. If you contact Gloria at: http://www.sillyfarm.com/store/index.php?p=catalog&parent=222&pg=1 they will give AANR members a discount on body paints.

3) Basic sanitary procedures should be followed.

4) It is recommended that "canvases" or their guardians sign a release before being painted. Also "canvases" should be aware that paints may be hard to wash off or can leave funny tan lines. AANR will create releases and have them available on the AANR site.

5) Every club, resort, and AANR member has the option to join in this fun event. It is not required. Also if you host an event, you can decide whether it is open to the public or not. We do ask everyone to please promote the event and AANR.

6) Clubs may or may not want to give prizes at the local level. AANR will create a certificate of participation template for all artists and canvases. At the local level, prizes can be awarded for such categories as funniest, scariest, silliest, age categories, male, female, etc.

7) At the national level there will be monetary prizes $500 for the best amateur and professional artwork. $250 for the 2nd best amateur and professional artwork, and $100 for the 3rd best amateur and professional artwork. Voting will be done online.

8) Each club will vote on the best canvases to submit by photo to the AANR office. You may submit up to the top 3 amateur and 3 professional photos. Votes can be by show of hands, clapping, paper ballots, etc. It is up to each club to decide how to tally votes.

9) There are opportunities for advertising and sponsoring this event.

10) Local clubs will decide if an artist is an amateur or professional.

11) AANR is asking everyone to please sign up for this fun event by May 1st. AANR will maintain a list of clubs, resorts, and member parties that are participating.

Rules:

1) Artists can use brushes, finger paint, stencil designs, henna, body paints, markers, etc to create fun and creative designs. We leave the medium up to the artist.

The decision of AANR judges in selecting these top 10 photos in each category is final.
