A CWC-members-only art and photography contest
Open to all CWC Members
Link to Vision and Verse II Art Contest | California Writers Club
The California Writers Club is proud to announce a members-only Art and Photography contest beginning on February 15, 2025 and ending on March 15, 2025. The winning art/photography will appear as visual inspiration for our second Ekphrastic Book.
If you would like the opportunity to see your artwork or photography published in the book, we invite you to submit a digital image of your work to the CWC Art Contest. The chosen winners’ work will be featured prominently throughout Vision & Verse II and combined with poetry and prose that is selected from the members submissions. The Vision and Verse II submission guideline will be announced after the winning images are published in March. The announcement will be e-mailed to all members.
2025 CWC Art and Photography Contest Submission Guidelines:
1.Artwork: We welcome original paintings, drawings, illustrations, or any other visual art mediums. All work must be original to the artist and has not appeared in any publication (electronically or in print). The artist will be asked to attest that the art is not AI generated.
2.Photography: We invite striking and evocative original photographs. All work must be original to the artist and not previously published (electronically or in print). We recognize that commonly used photographic tools like Abode Photoshop use AI processes. As such, the artist will be asked to attest whether any AI tool was used in creating or modifying the submitted image.
3.All submissions must be submitted in a jpeg format. Size limit 8” x 10” (2400 x 3000 pixels).
4.All submissions must be received by March 15 to be eligible for consideration.
5.There is a $10.00 submission fee for each piece of art submitted.
6.Members may submit as many pieces as they want. The fee is $10.00 each.
7.Submissions are to include a 50 word (brief) bio.
It is expected there will be up to 15 pieces selected for the book. A first prize winner will receive $100.00 and his/her art and it will appear on the cover. The second and third place winners will receive $50.00 each and their art will be prominently featured in the book. The other contest winners featured in the book will receive a free copy.
All the winners’ art will appear in an issue of the CWC Bulletin and will be on the CWC website..
We look forward to seeing your talent shine in the CWC’s 2025 Vision & Verse II.
