More Amazing Entries! Beautiful Bizarre Art Prize 2023

August 9, 2023

Entries to the 2023 Beautiful Bizarre Art Prize have closed, and the judging process is underway. We have received entries from all around the world, with artists from 89 different countries submitting their work!

Entries were received in various Traditional mediums across the fields of painting, drawing, collage, installation, fibre art, art dolls, embroidery and mixed media. We have received sculptures in multiple mediums including metal, marble, wood, gold, plaster, stone, many resins, ceramic, clay, wool, found objects, and even skeletons! The Digital Art category has seen an array of digital painters, digital sculptors, digital 3D artists and photomanipulation artists enter, and in-line with our business ethos, AI art has not been eligible to enter. Last but not least, the Photography category provided the opportunity for fine art photographers from around the world to enter both their digital and analogue photography.

There are FAR too many entries that have blown us away! So many in fact, that we’ve created this additional blog. Read ahead to enjoy many more of the vibrant, poignant, and talented entries below.
