This year's theme:

Re-Imagine an Old Master

Ready to turn art history on its head? Our new competition challenges you to take a famous painting by a classic master, from Da Vinci to Rembrandt and completely reinvent it for the 21st century. Will you Africanize the Mona Lisa, insert your own selfie into a Baroque portrait, or replace the central figure with a modern cartoon character? This is your chance to blend reverence for the past with radical modern creativity, exploring parody, cultural shifts, or wild fantasy. Show us how you would re-imagine history's greatest masterpieces and bring a legendary work to life in a brand new way! Submit your creation now for a chance to win.
