The competition's theme is "Open," allowing participants to express their creativity by submitting artworks on any subject matter of their choice. Only artists whose works are selected as finalists will be required to pay a $35 participation fee. Finalists will have their artwork showcased online and advance to the final round of judging, where they will be considered for cash prizes, including the chance to win the grand prize of $1,000.
Open Theme:
In contrast to themed competitions that dictate a specific topic or idea, open-themed contests like this one grant artists the freedom to express their creativity without confines on subject matter. Such competitions foster a plethora of artistic interpretations and styles, enabling artists to delve into diverse themes, concepts, and genres driven by their personal interests, experiences, or creative musings. This format empowers artists to exhibit their uniqueness and artistic flair.
Open-themed art contests encompass a broad spectrum of visual arts, spanning painting, drawing, sculpture, photography, digital art, and more. The open theme's adaptability results in a varied and dynamic array of submissions, establishing an inclusive platform that accommodates artists with varying preferences and styles.
