Categories or Themes
The central theme is Green. Submitted work should feature an interpretation of the color green or shades of green as a prominent element, but the competition does not prescribe a particular subject or photographic genre.
That leaves room for landscapes, portraits, still lifes, abstractions, nature photography, conceptual work, and other approaches in which green plays an important visual or conceptual role. Photographers working in a more interpretive direction may also find the call relevant alongside fine art photography contests.
Awards are divided by medium into painting, photography, and sculpture, while other artistic styles and mediums are also welcomed for consideration.

About the Jury
Artist Space Gallery states that a jury selects both the exhibited works and the award winners, although individual jury members are not named.
Judging is based on five published criteria: creativity, originality and quality of the artwork, overall design, demonstration of artistic ability, and use of medium. The jury also determines how many works will ultimately be represented in the exhibition. The organizer does not state whether judging is anonymous.
Why Enter Green Art Competition by Artist Space Gallery?
The color-based theme gives photographers considerable freedom compared with competitions built around a specific genre. Green can dominate a landscape, appear as a controlled element in a portrait or still life, or become the starting point for a more abstract or conceptual image. Photography also receives its own award rather than being grouped together with every other accepted medium.
Artist Space Gallery operates as an online platform presenting artists through exhibitions, awards, and promotional features. For photographers comparing the best photography contests for their own work, Green Art Competition by Artist Space Gallery offers a relatively accessible themed call with straightforward fees, dedicated photography recognition, and few restrictions on photographic subject matter.
