©POP is extremely excited to announce the 4 winning participants of ©POPpor2nity 2008at the Closing Reception on Saturday, January 31, from 7PM - 11PM.

©POPpor2nity – The second groundbreaking, all-media exhibition for all artists who have never shown at ©POP before concludes by announcing the four winning participants at a gala Closing Reception on Saturday, January 31 from 7 PM until 10 PM. These four out of almost one hundred participating artists will earn a place in the as yet untitled “showcase of champions” exhibition to be held at the storied Detroit gallery in April of this year.
Like the first ©POPpor2nity in March of 2007, submissions were culled primarily over the internet through social networks like, MySpace, Craigslist and deviantArt.com, and once again ©POP has received nearly a hundred submissions from everywhere in the US as well as Turkey, Greece and Canada to name but three of the many countries where ©Pop is well known.

The participants will be judged by a panel of 10 locally and internationally renowned artists, media folk and celebrities with the winners to be featured in their own 4-person “showcase of champions” exhibition in April at the storied Detroit gallery. A few of the judges are: Artist/Chantuese Niagara, Murdercap Records impresario, Jerome Almon, DEMF Founder and global events producer, Carol Marvin, Musician/art collector, Ken Stanley & Dirty Show Head-Honcho, Jerry Vile and ©POP’s own Tom Thewes.
