About This Call
Art Forward Contests invites painters and photographers, 18 and older at any career level, working anywhere in the world to submit work for Contest 1 Spring 2015. The theme is "My Art—My Vision," which challenges artists to reveal the essence of their work without excluding any subject matter.
Eligible work must be contemporary art created during and after 2000 in two-dimensional painting or photography disciplines. Painting includes collage and mixed-media techniques but excludes drawing, printing, and graphic arts. Photography includes black-and-white and color, digital and film, lomography, pinhole, classic printing processes, and computer manipulation, but excludes digital art. There are no size restrictions on original artwork. Submissions require 3-13 JPEG images at minimum 1920 pixels on the longest side, 72 ppi resolution, and maximum 5 MB file size. Basic submission of 3 images costs $35; additional images up to 10 cost $5 per image.
Jurors are Jack Mohr (Director of Artamo Gallery, Santa Barbara) for painting and Crista Dix (Director of Wall-Space Gallery, Santa Barbara) for photography, in collaboration with Art Forward Contests founders Stuart Ochiltree and Henry Rasmussen. A total of 32 winners will be selected: two Gold Awards (one in each discipline), six Silver Awards (three in each discipline), and 24 Bronze Awards (12 in each discipline). Gold Award winners receive a full-page ad in Art Ltd. magazine, invitation to exhibit work for sale in California galleries during September, a shared $1,000 cash award, and permanent placement in the Art Forward Online Winners Gallery. Silver and Bronze Award winners receive listings in Art Ltd. magazine and online announcements to art newsletter subscribers, with images featured in the online Winners Gallery. Work must be original with artist retaining copyright. Submission fee is non-refundable. Artists selected for gallery exhibition will receive separate instructions regarding packing, insurance, and shipping requirements.
