Here's everything you need to know before submitting your work.

Submission Guidelines

  • We welcome every kind of visual and handcrafted artwork, including paintings, digital prints, resin art, mixed media, photography, sculpture, collage, fibre art, glass art, and abstract creations.
  • No limits on size or medium. Artists have complete freedom to express their ideas through any style, subject, or technique they choose.

  • Participants are welcome to submit more than one artwork for consideration.
  • Each piece should carry the artist's name, phone number, and email address, ideally placed in a corner (top or bottom), so interested visitors can get in touch to purchase the work after the festival.
