5.ª edición del Wild Art Open

The 5th Annual Wild Art Open, organized by Wild Heart Gallery, is an international call for artists to submit original 2D or 3D artworks, sculpture, printmaking, photography, ceramics, mixed media, or digital art (no AI) that feature a wild animal. Open to artists worldwide aged 18 or older, the competition emphasizes originality, technique, and relevance to the theme of wild animals. Submissions are accepted through the ArtCall platform (https://wild-open5.artcall.org) and require a non‑refundable entry fee of $18 for up to two images. Selected works will be featured in a virtual group exhibition on wildheartgallery.com and promoted across the gallery’s social media channels. Cash awards include $350 for Best of Show, $175 for the Overall Runner‑Up, and $75 for the Artivism Award, along with honorable mentions and exhibition exposure. The call prohibits AI‑generated work, nudity, profanity, animal cruelty, gore, and political content. The deadline for entries is August 20, 2026, with jury results announced by September 2, 2026 and the virtual show scheduled for September 2026.
