Hello 2023! Photo, Digital and 3D Art Competition

This art competition recognizes amateur artists for their efforts in creating art in Photography, Digital Art, and 3D/Sculpture. Open to all amateur artists from around the world, selected works will be placed in the virtual online gallery and winners will be awarded cash prizes. The competition is juried by various professional and amateur artists.

Entry fee is $35 for 1-3 entries, which may be any combination of accepted types (photos, digital designs, and/or sculptures). Entries must be submitted via the CaFÉ Call for Entry platform. Photos may be color, black and white, sepia, or monochromatic, produced from traditional film, mirrorless, DSLR, or mobile phone cameras. Minor adjustments such as hue, saturation, color, and cropping are permitted; major manipulations will disqualify entries. Digital design work must be created entirely in design software (Photoshop, Illustrator, Corel, Pixlr, Fresco, Serif, etc.); photos with effects or filters applied in these programs are not considered digital art. 3D sculpture entries should be submitted as a single composite image showing three different views of the finished artwork.

Awards include $75 for Best of Show in each category (Photography, Digital Design, and 3D/Sculpture). Several entries will be selected for the gallery, and a few will receive Honorable Mentions with no monetary prize. Prize money is sent via PayPal to the email address on file with CaFÉ. All entries must be original work by the artist with no signatures, names, logos, or watermarks. Work that has been previously selected for exhibits with this organization will not be considered. Entries must be in JPG format, minimum 1200 pixels on the longest side, and up to 5MB. The competition is open to beginner and amateur artists worldwide. Theme is open as long as work is family-friendly and appropriate for all ages. Entries accepted November 15 - February 14, 2023. Judging occurs February 15-17, 2023. Notifications will be emailed on or before February 17, 2023. Gallery selections display beginning February 18, 2023.
