iCanvas Sponsors Beautiful Bizarre 2021 Art Prize
We’re thrilled to team up again with international art publication, Beautiful Bizarre, for their annual Art Prize contest, this year sponsoring their digital art category! Last year, we were honored to get involved in their esteemed initiative to empower creators across the globe — from discovering incredibly talented photographers to taking over Beautiful Bizarre’s Instagram for a day. And we can’t wait to discover the digital artists submitting their creations this year.
Stay tuned for updates throughout the year on how to use your vote to amplify the work of artists you dig most.
