Art Competition
The RG10
Gallery Art Competition invites artists from around the world to submit their works on selected
themes. Each theme-based competition is juried by an international panel based
in Vienna.
Artists worldwide are encouraged to submit their artworks through our
online platform, see the form below. There is a special focus on Asian and
African artists, who remain relatively underrepresented in Austria; therefore,
the competitions are promoted particularly in those regions.
The winning works will receive a prize fee, a certificate, and will be
showcased at an exhibition in Vienna. The competitions are open to artists of
all skill levels. AI-generated art is part of a dedicated category and should
therefore not be submitted under other sections.
