“Be Happy” an Online Juried Competition and Exhibition. Show us what you are grateful for, inspires you, lifts your soul, and makes you smile.
This virtual juried competition and exhibition will be judged by members, with artists being awarded The Art Guild Members’ People’s Choice Awards (values below).
CRITERIA All styles from abstract to realism are welcome. All works must be original, and have been created in the last five years. References used in the creation of the submitted work must be the artist’s own, or copyright-released for use in this work. The curating committee’s decision is final.
MEDIUMS Including but not limited to acrylic, oil, watercolor, photography, digital art, pastel, mixed media, collage, encaustic, etching/prints, or sculpture. (NO MASTER COPIES)
Please be aware that the digital images you send should look as good as they possibly can. These will be the images that will be displayed in our online gallery. Try to photograph your image in natural light, that the image is straight and that there is no glare on glass or varnished surface.
