Black & White 2027

Fusion Art invites worldwide 2D and 3D artists to submit art and photography using black, white and the shades between for an online exhibition during January 2027. Any subject matter is acceptable, including representational and nonrepresentational work from realism to surrealism to abstraction.

Black, white and the nuanced shades between; any subject matter.

Open worldwide to artists over 18. Submit original work completed within the past five years using black, white and the shades between. AI-generated artwork is not accepted. Eligible visual forms include painting, drawing, pastels, inks, pencil, printmaking, encaustic, fabric, collage, mixed media, analog and digital photography, digital photo artwork, digital painting, manipulations, digital collage, photopainting, vector drawing, integrated digital art, relief, pottery, sculpture, installation, kinetic and conceptual 3D work in metal, paper, wood, stone, fiber, plastics, glass, ceramics or other materials. Derivative digital work must be significantly different enough to constitute a new original work; the gallery may request the original if copyright infringement is suspected. Tasteful nudity is acceptable; graphic erotic art and graphic sexual violence are excluded. No size limits; work need not be for sale. 3D entries require front, back and side views at no additional fee. Submit clear JPG images at 72 dpi, highest compression quality of 12, maximum 5MB, without frames, mats or watermarks. Label files FirstName_LastName_Title.jpeg, without special characters or stray spaces. Provide a required third-person bio or artist statement, maximum 100 words; it is not used in final exhibition evaluation. Competition-specific nonrefundable fees are $30 for up to 2 images or $45 for up to 5 images, overriding the general competition fee schedule. Multiple entries are allowed. Payment is due at entry through Submittable and includes New Mexico Gross Receipts Tax if applicable. Acceptance is not guaranteed. Awards from other shows do not exclude work; reuse across Fusion Art competitions is permitted if theme-compliant and not previously a winner. No image substitutions or early exhibition withdrawals. Fusion Art may crop or color-correct images. Submission grants a non-exclusive perpetual reproduction license for website display, marketing and promotion of current and future competitions, exhibitions and the annual group show, with archival retention. Entry accepts the competition rules, Terms of Service & Use and Privacy Policy and opts artists into email notices, with unsubscribe available. Dates may change; cancelled exhibitions result in fee refunds. Online sales inquiries go directly to artists; Group Show sales incur a 50% commission. General awards include Best in Show and second through fifth place in Traditional, Digital & Photography and, if entries are received, 3-Dimensional categories, plus possible Artistic Excellence and Honorable Mention awards. Award winners receive a digital certificate, announcement and press release.
