2026 Beautiful Bizarre Art Prize entries are open - we share some of the wonderful entries that we have received so far across all 7 categories!
We are thrilled to announce the introduction of an entirely new award, made possible through the generous patronage of Catherine K. Gyllerstrom: Collector, Art Consultant, and Owner & Art Director of BearWolf Books. We are deeply grateful for her support and vision in bringing this award to life. We cannot thank her enough, and we are excited to see the incredible entries that will shape this inaugural category. Introducing the Catherine K. Gyllerstrom Imaginative Realism Award.
A pencil-wielding wizard exploring the intricate depths of interiority, Summer Aldis has always had a penchant for elevating limitations into art. Growing up in Australia without means to equip her wandering imagination with a boxload of expressive tools, she worked with pencil and paper, and arguably “an unhealthy amount of stubbornness”, as she gradually developed from a self-taught artist to an award-winning champion of the humble graphite.
Entries to the 2026 Beautiful Bizarre Art Prize have officially closed, and the judging process is now underway. Our sincere thanks to all of the artists and photographers that entered. We are super excited with the array of entries and have already discovered a host of new creators!
