Calling All Artists

In celebration of the 10th Anniversary Issue of Artslandia Magazine, we are launching our first-ever cover art contest at 10:10 am on February 20. We invite all of our beloved Portland Artists to join us. You know our mission. Now, let’s see you translate it into an original work of two-dimensional art. Just like with Artslandia, the sky is the limit. This city is overflowing with talented artists and creatives. If you are an artist, ENTER. If you know an artist, tell them to ENTER!

The Prize

Artslandia will award the winner of the Anniversary Cover Art Contest a $1,000 cash prize, a professional photo shoot, a two-page profile article, and — the most coveted prize of all — the cover of our 10th Anniversary Artslandia Annual.
