OPEN CALL
The FiKVA Foundation proudly presents the 3rd International FiKVA Award for Representational & Figurative Painters—a remarkable opportunity for artists worldwide to gain international recognition, share their talent globally, and earn substantial financial rewards. Best of all, the entire process is online—no need to ship your work or part with it!
Submit your best paintings from the past two years for a chance to win up to €5,000 in cash, premium art supplies, a 6-month gallery representation or be featured in a celebrated online exhibition! The International FiKVA Award for painters is open to all artists 18 years of age or older.
The FiKVA Award is open to all styles of representational painting—modern and classical realism, imaginative realism, hyperrealism, photorealism, luminism, surrealism etc – as long as the artwork reads as representational and not stylized or abstract. If your work captures the essence of the real world while reflecting your unique artistic voice, we want to see it!
