Mother Earth - Juried Art Contest

Mother Earth invites artists to explore the many faces of our planet through their own creative lens.

Celebrate the beauty of untouched landscapes, changing seasons, wildlife, and our deep connection to nature. Or examine Earth's darker side through climate change, natural disasters, environmental destruction, extinction, pollution, fire, floods, decay, resilience, and rebirth.

Whether your work reflects wonder or warning, peace or power, growth or collapse, we encourage bold and thought-provoking interpretations. Any artistic discipline is welcome, and there are no limits to how you interpret the theme. Surprise us.

All submissions will be reviewed anonymously by a panel of respected Canadian arts professionals, ensuring each work is evaluated solely on its artistic merit. This year's jurors include:

- Donna Child – Owner and Director, Donna Child Fine Art Gallery - Chris Gordaneer – Professional Photographer and Agency Owner - Mike Wagler – Renowned Tattoo Artist and owner for the Underground Art Gallery
