TROY, Mich., Nov. 01, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Rehmann, a fully integrated professional advisory firm, is pleased to announce its themed art contest, Power Play, in partnership with the Detroit Red Wings.

The contest—the third consecutive art initiative co-managed by Rehmann and the Red Wings—opens for submissions today, November 1, 2023, and closes on February 1, 2024. Contestants will submit their entries virtually for the first round, with finalists invited to deliver their physical artworks for additional consideration. The judging panel will be comprised of Rehmann and Ilitch Sports + Entertainment (IS+E) executives as well as an outside guest panelist. The winner will be announced on February 22, 2024, and their winning artwork will be installed in the Rehmann Club at Little Caesars Arena in the heart of The District Detroit.
“The success of the art contest over the past two years underscores the importance of community-centered initiatives and the passion Michiganders have for their NHL team,” said Stacie Kwaiser, CEO of Rehmann. “We are proud to stand with the Detroit Red Wings to bring together Michigan’s communities of artists and sports enthusiasts.”
To enter, artists must submit permissible mediums including drawing, painting, etching, original digital creations and photography 24” by 30” in size. Pieces will be judged on creativity, originality, and the theme of “power play,” which encompasses power, strength and playmaking.
