Art Kudos 2010
International Juried Competition
Online Exhibit


Art Kudos is an annual international juried competition that serves to recognize and honor excellence in the visual arts. Artists who are selected as finalists benefit from world-wide exposure in a year-long online exhibition and have the opportunity to win cash awards for their exemplary work.

The Art Kudos competition is sponsored by Artshow.com, a company that offers web-based services and resources for artists and arts organizations.

Eligibility: The competition is open to artists anywhere in the world, 18 years of age or older. Publishers, galleries, agents, and collectors may not submit artwork on behalf of artists. Drawings, paintings, printmaking, photography, digital art, sculpture, installations, ceramics, fiber art and mixed media are eligible. Media not accepted: video/film, wearable art (clothing or jewelry). All works submitted must be original in design and concept. Artwork must not be copied, in part or wholly, from any published or copyrighted work. Work previously shown in an Art Kudos exhibition is ineligible. Please do not submit images which would be inappropriate for general audiences.

Awards Judge: Mitchell Albala teaches landscape painting at the Gage Academy of Art in Seattle.

Awards: Exemplary works will be displayed in a year-long online exhibition at http://www.artkudos.com/ beginning August 15th. Cash awards totaling $4,500 will be distributed as follows: Best of Show - $1,400; Second Place - $1100; Third Place - $750; Founder's Award of Distinction - $500; (3) Merit Awards - $250 each.

Sales/Commissions: No commissions are taken for sales generated via the exhibition, and works submitted do not have to be available for sale. Sales will be encouraged, however, and artists will have the option to display their contact information beside their images.

Submission Guidelines: Artists must submit a completed entry form and pay a non-refundable entry fee of $30 US dollars to submit 3 images. For sculptural or three-dimensional pieces, artists may submit 2 views of each work (for a total of 6 images).

Acceptance/Notification: Artists will be notified by August 1, 2010 as to whether or not they have been selected as a finalist for the online exhibition. Award winners will be announced with the opening on August 15, 2010.
