ConceptArt.Org is proud to announce our latest contest: Newborn! Let’s get started!
Each moment we sit down at our tablets, we have an opportunity to
create a beautiful work of art. We can reach for beauty, depth of idea,
technical mastery or even personal satisfaction. We can create in hopes
of being discovered. We can focus on found inspiration or a simple
desire for prizes and loot. We can draw and paint because we understand
the importance of promoting ourselves with work of our own vision. We
can make art to hone our abilities for the career road ahead. But, the
question is not why we create…it is what will we create? What will you
create?
As artists, we all have opportunity to bring something into the world
from the deepest places in imagination. You have the ability to bring
vision to life with your talent. What will you bring to this world?
Will you bring something that entertains? Will you bring something that
changes minds? Will you bring something which makes you smile or builds
your reputation around the world?
TOPIC:
Newborn “Bring Something Into the World” or “To Life”
Wacom and Massive Black are sponsoring this next contest and there are a ton of great prizes and even promotional help too!
We all want to see what you bring to life, out into the world for
millions to see. If there is an up and comer who shines, we will be
doing what we can to make them a star. If they are a star already, then
they understand the importance of continued exposure to the global
audience. Wacom, ConceptArt.Org, and Massive Black are going to help
get you there.
