We invite artists to submit work exploring the theme of childhood — memories, innocence, wonder, or how we see the world as children. This online exhibition welcomes all mediums and styles, and offers a chance to share your vision with a global audience. Join us and show us what “Childhood” means to you.

Submissions are open to a wide range of media, including painting, drawing, digital art, sculpture, printmaking, photography, textiles, and mixed media.

Awards: Interviews and other publications are featured in the print edition of UPWARD’s magazine and on the website, digital certificate, and personal artist page on the gallery website. The exhibition will be promoted online via our website and social media channels.
Fee: $15 for entry, $12 (2-4 entries), $10 (5 or more entries).

Deadline: August 3, 2026
