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.
This year the 33PA Drawing Award received an impressive number of entries, all demonstrating remarkable skill and artistic vision. We are very grateful our esteemed Arts Champion Didi Menendez, Founder of 33PA and Gallery Director of 33 Contemporary Gallery, and to this year's Jury Panel, particularly April Carter Curator at PoetsArtists and 33 Contemporary Gallery, and award-winning Drawing artist Ed Binkley, who have been going through the entries and making the incredibly difficult decisions. The overall quality of entries was exceptional; we are deeply honoured by our community's interest in the Beautiful Bizarre Art Prize.
