Just like last year, we’ve received many DM’s and emails from our community asking for an extension to the Beautiful Bizarre Art Prize entries deadline, for lots of reasons but mostly due to the mental exhaustion cause by the ongoing COVID pandemic. You asked, and we listened! Entries for the 2021 Beautiful Bizarre Art Prize now close this Saturday 31 July 2021 at midnight [Los Angeles, USA time / 5pm 1 August [Sydney, Australia time].
With the COVID pandemic now well into its second year, we understand that even small things seem hard. Entering the Art Prize however is super easy, you dont need to create a new work, just enter the best work from your existing portfolio – simple!
Just complete the relevant entry form in one of the four Award categories: Traditional Art, Digital Art, Photography or Sculpture.
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.
