Visual artists of 18 years of age and older from anywhere in the world and at all stages in their careers are invited to enter. The competition accepts a broad spectrum of art media and styles. There is a $35 entry fee for up to 5 images; $5 for each additional image.

Agora Gallery director Angela Di Bello feels strongly that there is much to be gained by entering competitions. She states: “In addition to providing a valuable career building experience, fine art competitions challenge professional artists as well as art students to create some of their most innovative and finest work. The excitement generated by simply entering a competition and "thinking outside the box" leads to numerous new possibilities and to opening doors that may otherwise remain shut. You must fearlessly take control of your own destiny and experience a quantum leap into the future…Yours!”
