Competition Details

Grey Cube Gallery is excited to announce our fifth “Blue” online art contest for August 2025! Artists from around the world are invited to submit their interpretations of the color blue. This theme is expansive, welcoming any work that prominently features blue or its many shades—from the pale blue of a daytime sky to the deep ultramarine of the ocean or vibrant turquoises.

We welcome submissions across all visual art mediums, with the exception of video and sound. This is a fantastic opportunity for both emerging and established artists globally.

Grey Cube Gallery was created as an online art platform dedicated to promoting artists worldwide. We foster the exploration and discussion of art, and actively support those who create it. Our vision is to build an online gallery that’s accessible to everyone—a vibrant public space designed to encourage greater social engagement, critical thinking, and creativity.

Through our monthly online art competitions, we provide numerous opportunities for artists, including publications on our site, international exhibitions, certificates, awards, and valuable connections with potential buyers, art collectors, curators, and fine arts professionals.
