Embracing Our Differences’ annual outdoor exhibition is at the heart of a year-round program of activities designed to use art as a catalyst to create awareness and promote inclusion, kindness, and respect. Become a part of this change by submitting your original art to Embracing Our Differences and its annual international outdoor juried art exhibit.
ELIGIBILITY:
Artists, professionals, amateurs, students—everyone can participate. National and international submissions are encouraged. There is no submission or entry fee, and there is no limit on the number of submissions.
There is no restriction on entering art that has been submitted to previous competitions.
Your submission to our annual competitions through our website or any related website indicates confirmation that you are at least 13 years old. If you are under the age of 13, you may still enter your art or quotation by submitting it with parental/guardian consent.
Final selections will be chosen based on artistic excellence and originality in the reflection of our theme, “Embracing Our Differences.” This theme celebrates the richness and complexity of human experience, encouraging artists to explore and express the diverse facets of identity, background, and perspective.
Your art must be HORIZONTAL in orientation, which means that it must be wider than it is tall—submissions that do not meet this requirement will be disqualified. Artwork Templates
BENEFIT:
A total of $6,000 (US) will be presented in the form of three separate awards—$2,000 each for “Best-in-Show Adult,” “Best-in-Show Student,” and “People’s Choice.” The “People’s Choice” award will be determined by visitors to the exhibition.
