Art competitions where the work is judged, not the name on it

What makes this different

Most online art competitions are decided by public voting, which rewards whoever can rally the largest audience. Ours are not. Judges read every entry through a restricted view of our database that contains no name, no age and no handle, so a first-time entrant and a working illustrator arrive on the panel's screen looking exactly the same.

Who can enter

Anyone, anywhere, from age two to eighty. Entries are judged inside three age divisions so nobody competes outside their own group. Where the entrant is a child, a parent or guardian opens the account and submits on their behalf.

What mediums we accept

Painting, drawing, sketching, printmaking, collage, calligraphy, mandala and zentangle work, sculpture and clay, paper art, origami, resin and fluid art, textile work, mehndi, glass and wall painting, digital illustration, and more. Photography is not an eligible medium, and work generated by artificial intelligence is not permitted.

What you get for entering

A digitally verifiable certificate of participation, your score against each published criterion, the season e-magazine, and cash prizes if you place. Results are private by default — your name only appears alongside your result if you tick the box asking us to publish it.
