Competition Details

Light Space & Time Online Art Gallery is hosting its annual “Summer 5 for $10” Online Art Competition in 2025, offering a unique opportunity for artists worldwide. This competition invites submissions for a chance to be featured in the gallery’s “Summer 5 for $10” online group exhibition.

This is an “Open” competition, meaning there is no specific theme, and artists working in 2D and 3D mediums, including photography and digital arts, are welcome to apply with their best representational or abstract pieces, regardless of their location or the subject matter of their art.

The artwork for this competition does not need to be “Summer” themed. Any subject matter and any media are acceptable for consideration.
