Established in 1998, the The International Art Contest is open to all mature artists in the categories of Realism, Modern Art, Mixed Media (Sculpture) and Digital Art. Unlike a juried competition the selection of winners each year is decided by the artists themselves. The aim of the contest is to provide an introduction to active artists, create interaction between artists worldwide and offer a window to what is going on in the the world of art today. An important condition of entry is that the artwork nominated must be from a mature, preferably professional artist and provide career reference. Entry is free.
