CONTEST 2021 WINNERS
It is time to announce the winners of the Artwork Contest 2021! We are pleased to see the interest in the contest. More than 400 participants submitted their artwork this year. The quality of the entries was very high and therefore, it was quite difficult to decide on the winners. We examined the work very carefully. We compared the color, composition, expression of the painting, anatomical accuracy, but mainly the overall originality and effect of the works. We want to sincerely thank all the participating artists for their creative work. There were many more interesting works than we finally chose. The reason why we did not include some very interesting works was the fact that most of their effect resulted from the use of photography.
Let's take a look at our selection of the best art pieces in each category.
