There is a $2 entry fee per round – 6 rounds per year & 6 chances to win. If you are selected as a Showcase Winner in any round, you can pay the $20 premium placement fee and go on to the Juried Select voting. Our jurors and reviewers include international gallerists, curators  and other arts professionals.

At the end of our yearly Showcase Series, the top 3 winning artists are chosen from the 60 Juried Select artists.These 3 winners receive an Exhibition in a prestigious art city or art fair, Cash Prizes, and the possibility of having their work purchased for the ArtSlant Emerging Collection.

There are 3 ways to win for each participating artist:

SHOWCASE WINNER – In each of our 6 rounds, the ArtSlant Curation Team selects about 1/4 of the best artists entered in that round to be awarded Showcase Winner status. Being a Showcase Winner means you can move into the jury selection process for Juried Select Winner status. Showcase winners are given maximum exposure on ArtSlant through our Homepage display, our Artshow display and in our e-Publications.

JURIED SELECT WINNER – Our Review Panel of international galleries, curators and artists will go through the Profiles of each Showcase Winning artist. From this review, they will select the top 10 Juried Select artists in each round. These 10 artists will automatically go into our year-end voting for the ArtSlant Prize exhibition and cash awards.

NEW – One Juried Select artist in each round will be granted a $250 cash award.

ARTSLANT PRIZE – Three artists will be selected as our final ArtSlant Prize winners from the pool of 60 Juried Select artists that have been assembled during the year. Our ArtSlant Prize winning artists will receive:
