This year's theme: Together (again)

This year’s exhibition aspires to bring us “Together (again).” After a long year apart due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the time has come to gather again and celebrate all that was missed during our time of social distancing. Whether to laugh with one another, empathize, or mourn, being together is integral to society and humanity. It strengthens our common bonds and lets us feel supported and part of a greater purpose. Artists should explain how their works interpret this theme through a short statement submitted with their entry.
