Heroes and Legends - 2021

Heroes and Legends is an international art competition celebrating the profound impact of heroes and legends on our day-to-day lives through a dual opportunity which includes an art exhibition and publication. The competition invites artists to explore who their heroes and legends are, how they have evolved their lives, and what lessons can be learned from them. Heroes and legends may come from family, school, work, visual arts, music, movies, literature, sports, science, business, religion, history, mythology, or other fields. All artistic expressions and interpretations of heroes and legends are welcome, including their faces, figures, acts, and the ways they have touched your life. This opportunity is open to all artists and mediums worldwide.
