Fusion Art invites submissions for the 8th Annual Figures & Faces Art Competition for an online exhibition during the month of October 2022.
For this competition, both 2D and 3D artists, worldwide, are invited to submit their best art depicting the human form – both figures & faces. All artists, regardless of location or experience, are invited to submit their best representational and/or abstract art and photography.
Best in Show and 2nd through 5th Place awards will be given. The Best in Show winners will receive a cash prize or the option of a one-year complimentary membership to Fusion Art’s Featured Artist Members Gallery, as long as they meet the eligibility. In addition, Best in Show winners receive an invitation to Fusion Art’s Annual Group Show in Santa Fe, NM in 2023.
Depending on the number and quality of all submissions received, Artistic Excellence and/or Honorable Mention awards may also be given. Please see further information below under the Awards section.
The exhibition and winning artists will be marketed and promoted extensively through the gallery’s website, in hundreds of online press release announcements, email marketing campaigns to over 8,500 buyers, collectors, galleries and art professionals, online event calendars, through art news websites including ARTFIXdaily, Artweek/Artjobs, Art Guide and Art.base.co and through our extensive and growing social media network.
