Call Description

Where Earth Breathes, Fire Roars, Water Dances, and Air Whispers—Let Art Speak the Language of the Elements

Exhibizone proudly invites artists worldwide to submit their artworks for Elements 2025, the third edition of our highly anticipated juried international smart online exhibition, dedicated to the eternal forces that shape our world.

From the time of ancient civilizations to modern metaphysics, the Elements—Air, Water, Fire, Earth, and beyond—have inspired myths, driven philosophies, and awakened deep spiritual meaning. In this exhibition, we invite you to go beyond the surface, to create not just images, but experiences. Whether you breathe color into the winds, set your canvas ablaze with emotion, carve landscapes of resilience, or submerge the viewer in deep reflective waters—this is your stage to honor the essence of life itself.

Why Elements?

• Because we are made of them.
• Because they are everywhere—yet often invisible.
• Because every brushstroke, every pixel, every sculpted curve holds the memory of wind, flame, wave, and soil.

Elements 2025 is more than just an exhibition. It is a powerful collective reflection on our shared human experience through nature’s primal forces. It’s an artistic journey through transformation, rebirth, grounding, flow, and transcendence.

Let your work ignite, soothe, shatter, or uplift—as long as it speaks truthfully to the element within.

Suggested Themes and Topics

We encourage all styles—figurative, abstract, conceptual, digital, photographic, sculptural—to interpret the elements in a way that is deeply personal or culturally symbolic. Expand your vision through these extended theme prompts:

AIR

• Motion and stillness, breath and atmosphere
• Birds in flight, wind turbines, cloud formations
• Pollution, invisible forces, breath of life
• Abstract expressions of space, openness, or lightness

WATER

• Rivers, oceans, rain, tears
• Water as memory, cleansing, or destruction (floods, drought)
• Reflections, underwater worlds, liquid forms
• Ice and steam: transformation and contrast

FIRE

• Flames, heat, and light
• Destruction and rebirth: wildfire, volcanoes, phoenix
• Passion, anger, courage, the will to create
• Fire as spiritual energy or inner drive

EARTH

• Landscapes, soil, plants, animals, roots
• Urban earth: bricks, streets, ruins
• Climate change, deforestation, drought
• Stability, grounding, belonging

The Fifth Element (Your Element)

• Love, soul, spirit, time, memory, ether, void, balance
• A personal mythology, an imagined force
• A surreal, whimsical, or completely abstract expression
• A fusion of elements or something that defies them all

Why Submit to Elements 2025?

Submit up to 6 artworks; a maximum of two artworks will be accepted from each artist.

Jury Process

We use two phases for jurying. The first phase of jurying is the Yes/No selection, and the 2nd part is the scoring model. For scoring, each jury member scores artworks from 1 to 10. Artworks with the highest scores in the "Yes" group will be selected.

Why Selection Fee?

Submission to this art opportunity is free of charge, and we only ask the selected artists to pay a small fixed fee to proceed. 

This decision was made in good faith because we wanted artists to only pay when selected. We have a thorough jury process as our art opportunities are popular and have a low acceptance rate.
