Emerging Artists International Art Competition

Emerging artists are defined as follows:
An emerging artist is typically someone who is in the early stages of their artistic career, often characterized by a growing body of work, limited recognition (regardless of the skill level or content of their work), and a developing reputation within their artistic community or industry. Emerging artists may have recently graduated from art school or recently begun showcasing their work publicly. They are usually exploring their artistic voice, experimenting with different techniques, styles, and mediums, and seeking new opportunities to exhibit or sell their work to a wider audience. An artist may be considered an emerging artist regardless of their age, experience, or skill level; essentially, an emerging artist is defined as one who has yet to reach a high level of career success or public recognition for their work.
