SPEEDWAY, Ind. - Indianapolis Motor Speedway and Indy Arts Council are seeking five talented artists to create original artwork that will welcome visitors to the city during the Month of May.

A panel of judges will select the winning artists from the pool of applicants. The selected artists will have the opportunity to create a piece of original artwork that will be displayed throughout the city.

Officials say your piece should reflect your personal style and interpretation of what "The Greatest Spectacle in Racing" means to Indianapolis. It should also capture the essence of Indianapolis and its culture.
