The Amazing Abstracts Competition - Call for Abstract Painters

This is a call for abstract painters (beginners or otherwise), to enter our new Amazing Abstracts Competition.

The entry fee is £10 per artwork with a maximum of two entries.

The winner will be awarded a cash prize of £100.

The top twenty artists' work will be featured in an A6 staple-bound booklet and a 2025 printed calendar, designed and printed by Lyndon Watkinson.

They will also be included in an online exhibition that will run from November 15th to December 15th, 2024.

Email addresses of the artists who wish to sell their works will be included on the calendar.

In addition, the artworks featured on our online competition website give artists another opportunity to be seen and sell their work.

The judge of the competition is John Thornton, an American painter and artist videographer (www.youtube.com/@JohnThornton) (www.davinciartalliance.org/everyday-genius-blog/john-thornton).

Phil McCumskey, the curator of the Amazing Abstracts Competition, is an abstract painter himself.

Because of the limited number of Open Calls for abstract art events, he has launched the Amazing Abstracts Competition, an online event which gives seasoned artists, as well as beginners, the opportunity to showcase their work.

Phil is hoping that the competition will become a twice-yearly event.

Good luck everyone!
