To honor the millions of essential workers in the Tri-State area, MetLife, together with the New York Jets and New York Giants football teams, launched the MetLife Workforce Mural contest, which invites aspiring artists of all levels to submit artwork that celebrates this vital workforce. Two winning art designs will be selected and turned into a pair of two-story-high murals that will be on display at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, NJ beginning in 2021.
MetLife has also teamed up with former New York Jet Bart Scott and former New York Giant Victor Cruz to support the initiative. Strong supporters of Tri-State everyday workers, Cruz and Scott are featured in digital, social and radio promotions over the next two months to support the campaign. Both Scott and Cruz will also serve as part of the panel who will select the winning artwork.
The call for art submissions is currently open and will close on December 14, 2020. The campaign is open for all levels of artistry from trained artists to individuals with a creative passion. Please note, submitters must be 14 years of age or older and all submissions should be original artwork in the following formats: JPEG, PDF, BMP, PNG, GIF (non-animated) or TIF and be no larger than 15MB. For more information about the contest, please visit nyjets.com/metlife or giants.com/metlife.
