Autumn Vibes Art Competition

UPWARD Gallery invites artists worldwide to submit artwork to our online competition and exhibit, Autumn Vibes.

Autumn — the season, maybe, mostly affecting the emotions of the artist. For some, autumn is a quiet sadness, withering, a harbinger of future death, and for other artists, the theme of autumn is an opportunity to use all possible natural colors in your work.
What does autumn mean for your creativity?

Acceptable mediums include all traditional art media (e.g., oil, watercolor, acrylic, pastel, mixed media, gouache, egg tempera, pen and ink; drawing media such as graphite, charcoal, colored pencils, scratch board, markers, metal point), digital painting, arts and crafts (beadwork, pottery, embroidery, floristry, batik, stained glass, two-dimensional collage and fabric art as well, etc.).

All accepted pieces will be displayed in our online gallery at upwardgallery.com.

Each participant of the competition receives his personal page on the UPWARD gallery. This page displays works that the artist submitted for participation in competitions, short biography text and artist statement, links to the artist’s website, as well as links to social media accounts, interview with the artist.

All entrants will receive electronic certificates based on the results of the competition.
The winners (1st place) are interviewed by the UPWARD Gallery editors for publication on the site.

Entry fee: from $9 per entry.
