Submit your work under either the Representational or Contemporary categories.
This year, the SCA is introducing two exciting categories for our exhibition: Representational and Contemporary. These categories reflect our growth and commitment to celebrating a wide array of styles, genres and mediums of artistic expression.
Representational welcomes works that explore the world around us, whether through detailed portrayals or personal interpretations of familiar scenes. This category embraces a broad range of approaches, allowing artists to connect with the viewer in meaningful ways.
Contemporary invites artists to explore fresh perspectives, new ideas, and unique ways of expressing themselves. It’s a space where diverse approaches are encouraged, from abstract to conceptual works.
With two separate five-person juries for each category, made up of professionals who understand the essence of both approaches, artists will have the opportunity to be celebrated for their individuality. Each category also has its own prize pool, offering even more chances for recognition.
For this exhibition, artists may select the category, Representational OR Contemporary, for each of their three artworks. For example, an artist may select all three pieces to be in the same category, or they may submit one or more pieces in one category and the other piece(s) in the other category.
Gain recognition and visibility by being part of Canada’s top talent!
