IMAGE PREPARATION
All images must be in JPG format and a minimum of 1200 pixels or greater on the longest side and up to 5MB in file size, or fitting within the specifications listed with Cafe's current portfolio criteria. Each work must have a title other than “untitled”. Works that are “untitled” will not be considered for the gallery or cash prizes. Titles are considered as part of the work itself as it integrates into the subject matter of the art. Artwork may have been created in any digital art platform including the Adobe creative suite such as Photoshop, Illustrator, etc, GIMP, Corel Draw, or any other digital art program.  

Artists may enter in their work in either the Professional or Amateur category. A professional is considered an artist who sells their art as a primary source of income. An amateur is considered someone who creates art not as a primary source of income, but as a hobby. An artist must enter all works in the same category and may not enter work into both categories. 

ORIGINAL WORK & PRESENTATION
All entries must be the work of the artist. No signatures, borders, digital frames or mats, artist logos, borders, or watermarks may appear on the work. Any work with these elements will be automatically rejected and no refunds will be issued. Copies or works based on another artist's work will not be accepted. NO A.I. GENERATED WORK WILL BE ACCEPTED, WHETHER IN PART OR AS A WHOLE WORK. 

Eligibility Criteria

This competition is open to artists worldwide and all skill levels. Works that have previously been submitted, selected or that have won in past competitions by Lioncourt Gallery are eligible to be entered into this call so long as they fit all other criteria set forth by the call.

SELECTION PROCESS
Accepted entries and winners will be selected by the Gallery’s private slate of jurors to protect the integrity of the selection process. All decisions are final. "Selected" is defined as being chosen by the juror(s) for presentation in the online gallery and considered for a prize. Not all selected work will be prize winners, but all selected work will have the honor of appearing in the gallery. Entrants agree that by entering the event, the jury selection is a paid opinion of the quality of the work from the juror’s own perspective and in no way represents the opinions of anyone else. This event is designed to be fun and to celebrate art while rewarding top artists for their creative efforts.
