Infected By Art's annual book contest connects artists to a global audience through its on-line public submission and viewing process. They are seeking the best artwork in the genre of imaginative realism, i.e. Sci-Fi/Fantasy/Horror.
Accepted media are oil/acrylic, pen/ink and digital/photoshop.
Within these media you can submit your entries in five categories:
• Fantasy
• Horror
• Illustrated
• Science-Fiction
• Un-Published
Images must be in JPG, BMP, GIF or PNG, and must be no smaller than 1MB per image. There is no minimum or maximum image size, however, if your image(s) is selected you will be asked to provide a hi-res image.
Artwork must have been created in the last 18 months, and artists are allowed to submit up to 10 works of art. Artists retain full copyright control over their images.
Each entry costs $10, with the 5th and 10th being free of charge.
