The gallery’s competition for October 2016 was the 6th Annual “SeaScapes” Art Competition. 2D and 3D artists (including photography) from around the world, were called upon to make online submissions for possible inclusion in to the Gallery’s November 2016 online group art exhibition.
Artists were asked for their interpretation of the theme “SeaScapes”. Seascape subjects included scenes of coastal living, any ocean activities, seaside vistas and any related seashore subjects for this art competition
The art competition and the submission process for the artists began in September 2016 and concluded on October 27, 2016. The gallery received 491 entries from 19 different countries from around the world, including Armenia, Australia, Bahrain, Barbados, Bulgaria, Canada, Croatia, Georgia, Germany, Ireland, Israel, Oman, Scotland, Singapore, Slovakia, Spain, Sweden, United Arab Emirates and the United Kingdom. In addition, the gallery received entries from 31 different states.
The exhibition has been divided into two media categories. Painting & Other Media and Photography & Digital Media. In addition, there is an overall Winning Artists Category, which is the “best of the best” and consists of the ten (10) best entries comprised from the 2 media categories.
The gallery also included Special Merit awards and Special Recognition awards for outstanding art. Many of the artists in either of these groups could have easily been included in the upper tier of our winners, as their art was also exceptional.
To view the artwork in each media category, click on a thumbnail image and that will take you to the Slide Show, which will then contain larger images. In order to leave the Slide Show at any time, just click on any of the large images in order to escape and that will take you back to the thumbnails images.
All winning entries will now be featured on the Light Space & Time website for the month of November 2016. Thereafter, the artworks and links to the artist’s websites will remain online in the Light Space & Time Archives.
Congratulations to our artists who made our 6th Annual “SeaScapes” Art Exhibition so successful this month. At any time, we invite our winning artists and other interested visitors to link their websites to the Gallery’s archive page for further ongoing promotion.
Overall Winning Artists Category – The overall winning artist’s category consists of the 10 Best Entries received from the Painting & Other and Photography & Digital media categories. Please go to the results of the SeaScapes Art Exhibition “Overall Winning Artists” Category here.
Special Merit Award Category – These are the artists and their artwork which we felt could easily have been placed higher but due to the size constraints in each media category, this art was placed in this special category. Any of the Special Merit art, in many cases, is interchangeable with the best art that we selected for the top tiers.
