Art Contest – “Imagine a World Free of Isms”

Tuesday, October 10th, 2023

We are so excited here at Black Women for Wellness in collaboration with the Healthy Nail Collaborative to be launching our 2023 Art Contest: Reimagining a World Without Isms. As we grow as activists, artists, and visionaries, we are constantly using our ideas of a reimagined world to manifest a reality closer to a collective aspiration of hope, change, equity, and abundance. We are hoping that this art contest will be an opportunity for artists and creatives to tap into their inner vision of positive transformation. 

In a world where prejudice, discrimination, and stereotypes can create division, “Imagine a World Free of Isms” serves as a powerful and inspiring theme. As an artist, you’re invited to delve into a realm of unity, acceptance, and equality. Through art, let’s envision a world where these barriers no longer exist and share your unique perspective on what a world free of isms would look like.

Prizes: 3 Prizes awarded to top entries. 1st Place $500, 2nd Place $300, 3rd Place $200

Eligibility: Open to all ages. Artists under 18 must have parental consent.
