Teravarna -"9th Portrait" International Juried Art Competition

TERAVARNA, a renowned art organization, presents the highly anticipated "9th PORTRAIT" International Juried Art Competition, inviting visual artists from around the globe to participate in this prestigious portrait art contest.

Conditions for Participation

​​The theme of this international juried art competition is COLOR. As humans, we see the narrowest range of wavelengths of the vast electromagnetic spectrum that lies in front of our eyes. But even that evokes indescribable feelings in us. Indescribable in words, perhaps, yet depicted in those very wavelengths we are privileged enough to see. Any subject matter holding a multitude of colors is acceptable for this contest. Artists are free to apply their own interpretation in representing the overall theme. Representational and abstract ideas based broadly on this theme, in any media, will be considered. See below for more details on submission guidelines. Please note that you must be 18 years of age in order to participate in any of our events.
