SHIFTING PERSPECTIVES 〰️ The Art of the Beautiful Game 〰️

“Shifting Perspectives” invites artists to explore how the game of football inspires us to see the world, ourselves, and one another. Whether through the precision of a perfect pass, the drama of a goal, or the electricity building through the stadium in anticipation of a comeback, football allows us to witness beauty in motion, strength in camaraderie, and art in the everyday.
This call to art seeks to capture the transformative power of football. We encourage artists to express how the game shifts perspectives both on and off the field - whether it's the view from the stands or from another culture, the emotions of a player or a fan, or the way the sport brings communities together to use its power for good. Through your work, help viewers see the world not only through a different lens, but inspire viewers to run it back and watch the replay.

About the Wilson Favela Project
The Wilson Favela Project is a registered 501(c)(3) charitable organization that provides opportunities for talented individuals in the impoverished favelas of Brazil. Through their partnership with local Bahia club SC Camaçariense, they are able to help talented soccer players gain notoriety via tournaments held in the favelas and attended by scouts from across the country. Their facilities offer housing, food, and educational programs, so that those in need – in these culturally diverse epicenters – can optimize their various skillsets. They believe that no talent should go unfound due to a lack of opportunity and resource.
