2023 ALL Abstraction
Art Exhibition & Competition Prospectus
“The aim of art is to represent not the outward appearance of things, but their inward significance.”~ Aristotle
Contemporary Art Gallery Online is proud to announce their 9th Annual “ALL Abstraction” Online Art Competition for 2023.
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 non-representational art related to the "ALL Abstraction" theme. The “ALL Abstraction” theme is considered to be any art that does not attempt to represent external reality, but seeks to achieve its effect using shapes, forms, colors, and textures. 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.
