You may want to read this handy little article we put together on The Bigger Picture: Why Entering Art Competitions Is A Smart Career Move. The Beautiful Bizarre Art Prize has been changing the lives and careers of artists for the last 6 years, don’t miss your chance to take your career to the next level.
‘Becoming Tears and Hunger’ by Jason Mowry, Watercolor, gouache, ink, and Pencil on Watercolor paper.
With an easy submission process you can guarantee that your work will be seen by our Editor-in-Chief Danijela Krha Purssey. Why is this important? Because it isn’t just about winning (although that would be amazing) – the Beautiful Bizarre Art Prize is also our fountain of inspiration. Every year we discover many new artists through our Art Prize, who then go on to be featured on our website, our print magazine, and are also invited to our curated exhibitions. It is the best way to get on our radar! Plus this is also the perfect opportunity to get your work in front of the Directors of Haven Gallery, NY USA.
Giving the practices of representational artists validation and visibility, particularly in the commercial gallery and museum sector where it is still hard to get representation, is what the Beautiful Bizarre Art Prize aims to achieve.
See below some of the wonderful entries we have received so far across all Award categories.
