Prestige and recognition await. The Blu Sky Artist Award honors two outstanding artists each round. One in traditional or mixed media, and one in photography or digital, with $1,000 in awards and lasting promotion.
Think of the BSAA as your chance to break through the noise. It’s not just about picking winners — it’s about spotlighting bold voices, sharing fresh ideas, and celebrating the art that moves people. The Blu Sky Artist Award is designed to offer more than a cash prize. Winners receive meaningful career-building visibility through editorial features, interviews, collector-focused promotion, and permanent online recognition.
Designed to deliver real value to your CV and to collectors. Plus lasting visibility beyond the announcement. There will be two overall winners: one from the Traditional/Mixed Media category and one from the Photography category. Alongside the winners, 20 selected finalists will gain meaningful perks to support and showcase their work.
