Theme

We take a broad approach to our theme driven contests. In this contest, we will accept all 2D paintings, drawings, pastels, or mixed medium artwork that emphasizes humans as an integral part of the composition: Portraits, the human body or an emphasis on aspects of the human body, crowds, humans doing things or doing nothing, etc. If the work deals with the human figure in any way, you are good to go. You can approach this theme with any technical and/or philosophical approach you wish, be it classical realism in the grand manner, semi-abstract expressionism (so long as it is figurative), modern realism, impressionism, post-impressionism, minimalism, surrealism, or your very own idiosyncratic “ism”. Nudes are obviously accepted for this competition. Just remember to keep it clean.

As always, we are particularly interested in what you have to say about your work, so be sure to fill out the field on the submission form entitled “Tell Us About the Artwork”. Don’t describe your work (we have eyes to see). Rather, tell us the story behind the painting: What is the work about? What motivated you to paint it? If there’s a reason for the materials you use, the manner in which you work, or the techniques you utilize we want to hear about it. Note that what you have to say about your art has a big impact on how the Jury panel judges your work.
