Maya Cinemas and the Arts Council of Kern (ACK) have

collaborated to organize a juried art competition

featuring works inspired by movies and the movie going experience. Eight winners will be

chosen and their art work will be enlarged to 12x18 and installed on the exterior of Maya

Cinemas. Each winner will be eligible to use 2 free movie passes per week from July-December

exclusively at Maya Cinemas. Select submissions will be on display in Maya Cinemas Lobby from

likenesses, or themes related to the movie going experience (popcorn,

issues: if you are taking your inspiration from a movie poster or other

artwork, you may not copy that work directly, and any element copied

from another source must be extremely trivial. In addition, art

featuring specific Bakersfield themes will also be accepted. Maya

Cinemas and the ACK reserve the right to refuse works judgedunsuitable or with unusual request.
