Soul of Artists

October 16, 2026 (17 publicSeo.openCall.daysLeft)Online — soulofartists.com (Soul of Artists, Lihue, Hawaii, USA)

Fourth international online exhibition of Soul of Artists, a small Hawaii-based organisation that picks work not by subject, technique, popularity or credentials but for emotional weight and resonance — visual language that communicates authentic human experience.

Three winners receive $2,000 each, six runners-up $300 and fifteen finalists $100. All 50+ shortlisted artists are featured in a full-year online international exhibition from 28 January 2027, in curated publications and promotion; artists keep ownership of their work.

publicSeo.openCall.eligibility

Global call, open to artists aged 18+ at every career stage — self-taught, atelier-trained or academic. Original one-of-a-kind 2D works in any medium (painting, drawing, fiber, photography, digital art, mixed media, tapestry, one-of-a-kind prints, murals, picture books; sculptural materials if the result is primarily 2D), created between 2017 and 2027. Art that has already won cash prizes in other juried contests is not eligible; past $2,000 winners and runners-up of the 3rd exhibition cannot apply. No artist statement, bio or CV required.
