We loved hosting our Art Contest so much that we decided to keep it going all year round! Every month is a new chance to submit your latest masterpiece and get it in front of our buyers. Winners will see their work printed, framed and sold on UncommonGoods.com.

DEADLINE: This is an ongoing competition. Every month new semifinalists will be chosen from the previous month's submissions.

GRAND PRIZE: $500 + 5% royalties on a limited edition of 100 prints.

RUNNERS UP:
All runners-up will receive a critique of their work from the guest judges, and UncommonGoods' marketing team will provide tips for marketing and growing their businesses. Additionally, UncommonGoods' buyers will review each entrant's full portfolio and may consider adding the work submitted to the UncommonGoods website in the future.

What can I submit?
2D digital captures of your original watercolors, acrylics, pastels, colored pencils, collages, digital art, etc. We can't accept photography, 3D work, textures, letterpress or other work that relies on hand printing.

What does it take to be an uncommon artist?
Your design and your personal story should be anything but ordinary. Your design should be expressive, unique and tell a story. Be sure to share your design process and background on the submission form.
