SUMMARY:2026 Scott Griffin Award Application Open
DESCRIPTION:2026 Scott Griffin Award Applications Open July 1\, 2026 – August 8\, 2026.\nCommunity Foundation of North Louisiana will accept applications for the annual G. Scott Griffin Award starting July 1\, 2026. The award\, which features a cash prize of $1\,000\, will be given to a local artist who has contributed to the community through his or her art while overcoming adversity. \nThe deadline for entries is August 7 at 5:00 PM. The guidelines are available here. Individuals can apply through CFNLA’s scholarship portal. \nThe award is named in honor of G. Scott Griffin\, who was a multidisciplinary\, multimedia artist with accomplishments in musical composition\, instrumental performance\, photography\, and film. Because of these achievements\, it was often unrecognized that Griffin overcame many adversities in the execution of his art. From his childhood\, Griffin coped with a visual handicap\, congenital nystagmus\, which would have been the reason for most talented artists to cease performing. Rather than giving up his artistic dreams\, Griffin invited his audiences to join him on a journey of discovery and beauty that was possible through the lens of his camera and his varied canvases. His legendary music enchanted listeners because he played from the heart and not by sight. \nGriffin died of complications related to cancer on October 7\, 2007\, at the age of 45. The Scott Griffin Fund was created at the Community Foundation to keep his memory alive and to honor those artists who approach their art and life with the same passion and persistence as Griffin. \nPast recipients include: Susan Duke\, Cathy Cobb\, Ian Quiet\, Larry Sanchez\, Aaron Cox\, Bertha Cooper Harris\, Angelique Feaster-Evans\, Poetic X\, Carlos Colón\, Buddy Flett\, Bobby Darrow\, Matthew Cipolla\, Mary “ML” Dumars\, Maudie Bryant\, and Debra Roberson. \n\nAll applications must be submitted by 5:00 PM on Friday\, August 7 at 5:00 pm. Apply through CFNLA’s scholarship portal.
