Fusion Art invites worldwide 2D and 3D artists to submit representational or abstract landscape art and photography for an online exhibition during December 2026. Eligible subjects include natural scenery and landforms, from mountains and forests to polar regions and tropical landscapes.

Natural scenery and physical elements of landforms, in representational or abstract art and photography.

Open worldwide to artists over 18. Submit original work completed within the past five years that depicts natural scenery or landforms, including mountains, hills, valleys, deserts, farmland, trees, rivers, lakes, ponds, forests, wilderness, polar regions, rainforests, islands or tropical landscapes. 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 limitations; work need not be for sale. 3D entries require front, back and side views at no additional fee. Submit clear JPG images, 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. Nonrefundable fees are $25 for 1–2 images or $40 for up to 5 images. Multiple entries are allowed; payment is due through Submittable at entry and includes New Mexico Gross Receipts Tax if applicable. Acceptance is not guaranteed. Work awarded in other shows is allowed; 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. Submission accepts the competition rules, Terms of Service & Use and Privacy Policy and opts the artist into email notices, with unsubscribe available. Dates may change; cancelled exhibitions result in fee refunds. Online sales inquiries are directed to artists; Group Show sales incur a 50% commission.
