Wells Art Contemporary - Open Call 2019

The WAC Awards is an international visual arts Competition. Artists may enter up to four works. Entries can be any medium – painting, sculpture, drawing, printmaking, photography, installation or video. We regret that we cannot exhibit digital work unless all necessary equipment is provided by the artist (for example: monitors, screens, DVD players, headphones etc). There is no size restriction and WAC would like to encourage artists to enter large works. Entry Fee is £15 per work or £12 per work for current students. The competition is open to all artists aged 18 and over based in the UK or internationally.
