GLT Glass-es Design Contest

Call for Artist Submissions

Ira GlassIra Glass, host of This American Life, performs his one-man show "Radio Stories and Other Stories" at the Bloomington Center for the Performing Arts on Saturday, March 12, 2011. GLT is hosting an exclusive reception with Ira at the McLean County Arts Center (directly East of the BCPA) prior to the performance.

In homage to Ira's signature black-framed specs, we've created the GLT Glass-es Design Contest. You can participate by submitting a creative pair of glasses. We'll take a close, well, look at all entries and choose 25 finalists to be on display at the reception. All finalists will be invited to attend the reception as our guests (tickets to "Radio Stories" at BCPA must be purchased sparately through their box office).
