Embracing Our Differences invites you to participate in the 2024 Exhibition Competition and in creating a world where differences are embraced and individuality is celebrated.
Artists, photographers, professionals, amateurs, students are all invited to submit their interpretation of the theme “enriching lives through diversity”.
A total of $3,000 (US) will be presented in the form of three separate awards – $1,000 each for “Best-in-Show Adult;” “Best-in-Show Student;” and the “People’s Choice.” Both “Best-in-Show” awards will be granted by a three-judge panel of art professionals. The “People’s Choice” award will be determined by visitors to the exhibit.
Artists possess a powerful tool to evoke social change. Without uttering a single word, they can enlighten, educate and effect change around the world. Embracing Our Differences invites you to participate in creating a society where diversity is embraced and individuality is celebrated. Become a part of this change by submitting your original art to Embracing Our Differences and its annual international outdoor juried art exhibit featuring 50 billboard-size images measuring 16 feet (5m) wide by 12.5 feet (4m) high.
The 2024 exhibit will be on display mid-January through late May, 2024 in three locations in Southwest Florida.
Since 2004, the exhibit has hosted over 4 million visitors, in addition to 448,460 students via our education programs, for a very unique opportunity to experience the importance of diversity and inclusion in our lives.
Become a part of this exciting change through your visual art or creative writing submission to the 20th annual Embracing Our Differences competition.
Your submission must be an original concept and execution and is not a copy or reproduction of the
work of another. Final selections for inclusion will be made by a five-judge panel of art professionals based
on artistic excellence and originality in reflection of our theme “enriching lives through diversity and
inclusion.”
• Your art must be HORIZONTAL in orientation which means that it must be wider than it is tall –
submissions that do not meet this requirement will be disqualified.
• Your digital file must be a high resolution image of no less than 300 dpi (the higher the better).
• Include a brief (200 word maximum) “Artist Statement” explaining your art, your creative process
and/or what the theme means to you.
Deadline: 5 October 2023
