The person Coupland thinks best fits the bill will be given 5,000 euros (approximately C$7,200.)

The individual will be flown to Vancouver to be 3D-scanned, and will have their facial data used as van Gogh’s likeness on a two-by-three-metre bronze sculpture.

The work will be the first in an ongoing series of commissioned monumental outdoor works titled “Redheads.”

Individuals can upload a photo to iamvincent.com, where submissions can be viewed and voted on. Entries will be accepted until Aug. 20.
