2023 ALL BOTANICAL

Art Exhibition & Competition Prospectus

“It is not the language of painters but the language of nature which one should listen to, the feeling for the things themselves, for reality, is more important than the feeling for pictures.” ~Vincent Van Gogh

Contemporary Art Gallery Online encourages entries from all 2D and 3D artists regardless of their experience and/or education in the art field or where they may reside.  This is an international competition and everyone is encouraged to participate. A group exhibition of all entrants will be held online at the Contemporary Art Gallery Online following the close of the competition for thirty days.  

Artists should submit their best representational and non-representational art related to the "ALL Botanical" theme. The “ALL Botanical” theme is considered to be any art which depicts flowers, herbs, leaves, plants and related floral subjects.   Here is the link to last years EXHIBITION, so as to better demonstrate this month's theme.

This competition will be judged within three categories; Paintings, Photography and Mixed Media and 3D Work.  Awards will be given for the top 6 to 8 works selected in each category, (this will be depend on the number submissions in each category).  In addition, depending on the amount and the quality of all submissions received, additional awards will also be presented.
