Once again, dear entrants, you have made judging the Beautiful Bizarre Art Prize an incredibly difficult task – but we did it! We extend our deepest gratitude to the 2026 Jury Panel for their time and expertise. This year’s panel featured esteemed Arts Champions, including Emilie Dietrich, President & Creative Director of RAYMAR, and celebrated painter Brad Kunkle. Reviewing such a wealth of exceptional work was both a demanding and deeply inspiring undertaking. We are truly honored by the artistic excellence and passion demonstrated by our global community.
What a year it has been for the inaugural Catherine K. Gyllerstrom Imaginative Realism Award category! Open to traditional mediums: painting, drawing or sculpture (with a special focus on imaginative realism), we have enjoyed a truly broad selection of entries. Our Jury Panel - including esteemed Arts Champions Catherine K. Gyllerstrom, collector, Art Consultant, Owner & Art Director of BearWolf Books, and Patrick Wilshire of IX Arts and IX Gallery - have been going through the entries and making the incredibly difficult decisions. Once again, the overall quality of entries was exceptional; we are deeply honoured by our community's interest in the Beautiful Bizarre Art Prize.
