Prizes

Global Exposure + Over US$20,000 Worth of Cash & Prizes to be Won!

The Beautiful Bizarre Art Prize celebrates diversity and excellence in the representational visual arts, in all static mediums including Traditional Art media, Digital Art media, and Photographic media; and all genres from realism and hyperrealism, to pop surrealism and lowbrow.

The Prize seeks to inspire creatives from around the world to pursue a life and career in the arts, and to help careers grow through increased exposure of their work to the global arts community.

As a finalist, my Instagram and website have been receiving interest from a wider audience. Invitations to new shows have also come from the publicity the prize provided. One of the most sought after things an artist can hope for is name recognition and for people to see their work more widely, and the art prize has done that for me. – 2018 Finalist, Ariel Bowman

Plus, this is the perfect opportunity for artists to get their work in front of both the Editor-in-Chief of Beautiful Bizarre Magazine and the Directors of Haven Gallery, plus connect with the 50+ artists participating in the Beautiful Bizarre Magazine curated exhibition.

The 100 short-listed finalists will receive extensive international promotion through Beautiful Bizarre Magazine’s email marketing, social media marketing [over 970,000 followers] and website, ensuring the widest possible exposure.

The Awards recognise the most skilled, creative and talented contemporary artists within their category, as well as one extraordinary overall winner.

From the finalists, 1st, 2nd and 3rd Prize Winners in each award category and the overall 1st Prize winner will be selected by the Jury Panel and announced in October 2019. The overall 1st Prize Winner, and 1st Prize Winners in each Award category will be invited to participate in the Beautiful Bizarre Magazine curated exhibition ‘Ritual’ in December 2019 at Haven Gallery in Northport, New York, along with an incredible line up of over 50 of the world’s best contemporary artists from around the world.
