Contest Rules

Beyond the Comfort ZoneUp for a challenge or ready to step out and try something different? This contest could be just the ticket!

The concept here is to enter a piece which includes a new to you element to your work. It's up to you how you play it. For some it will mean staying with a regular medium but trying a different technique or new starting point etc. For others is may mean crossing over to an unfamiliar medium altogether. Let's be brave!

Don't panic. Remember all competitors will walk this unknown road together! Yes this may require actually creating a piece specifically for the contest but it does give incentive to try something new. I encourage you to go for it! I'm giving a few extra days from this announcement to allow creative juices to flow.

This contest is just for fun: No prizes but think of the achievement of producing beyond your comfort zone!

I can't wait to see what talent we unearth!
