What will the transportation of goods look like in the year 2276?

Open to artists, designers, students, and creative thinkers of all experience levels throughout the United States. The organizer welcomes original physical works such as paintings, drawings, hand-created illustrations, collage, mixed media, photography, and other visual artworks. The listing also mentions digital art, while the organizer's eligible-artwork section specifies original physical works. All submissions must be created by the participating artist; artificial intelligence may not be used to generate or materially alter any part of the submitted artwork. Entries are judged blindly on creativity, originality, artistic quality, and interpretation of the theme, without artists' names or identifying information visible during scoring. Twelve selected works will appear in the 2027 calendar, the digital gallery, and other communication and promotional channels. First place receives a $2,500 cash prize; places 2–12 each receive a $250 gift card. Entry is free. Submissions close October 20, 2026.
