Opportunity Description

RUC supports multicultural dialogue and interdisciplinary exchange between international artists and local traditions in a rural dimension that offers artistic time in solitude and exchanges between peers.

The Boynes Emerging Artist Award is an independent, international artist- run online art competition with a reward of cash, marketing, promotion and art supplies. We accept all 2D mediums from drawings to paintings to photography, etc. There is no set theme for our competition, we simply require you to submit the best in your portfolio. Our goal is to give artists a platform for their work, and exposure for emerging artists worldwide.
ELIGIBILITY
The Boynes Emerging Artist Award is open to all living artists regardless of age, country of origin/residence, sex or religion. We recognise that emerging artists around the world have varying backgrounds and different starting points in their careers therefore there is no age limit in this award.
We accept all 2D and 3D artworks such as paintings, drawings, photography, sculpture, etc. on any support such as canvas, wood, digital, etc. We also do not have a requirement on the subject of your work, we are looking for what you consider the best work in your portfolio to be. Artwork must have been completed in the last five (5) years and must be the submitting artist’s own original work. Video is allowed to be used to showcase sculptural works. Work will be judged based on skill, composition, originality and impact.
