Contest Details
Duration: January 1st – February 28th
Theme: Open (Unleash your imagination!)
Style: Black and white, modern, sleek, and minimalist. Adherence to a high-contrast, dynamic aesthetic with fluid, curving shapes, three-dimensional depth, and stark use of light and shadow. The focus should be on form, movement, and meaning. Examples can be found in this gallery. I do not recommend using artwork with high noise or too much detail, as these are unsuitable for robotic drawing.

I provide mentorship throughout the contest, offering feedback on each submitted artwork to help participants refine their creations. Participants can submit one artwork at a time and receive feedback, with a maximum of 10 entries allowed per person.
🥇 1st place – Milan Illes
Milan delivered the most thoughtfully curated and visually unique series in the contest. His theme of the Parachute Man—inspired by the war in Ukraine—captured vulnerability and strength in equal measure. His work is a quiet yet powerful statement about empathy, pain, and resilience.
🥈 2nd place – Dasha Shimorina
Dasha’s work stood out for its consistency and symbolic depth. Her Tree of Life piece explores themes of growth, duality, and connection—blending natural imagery with a reflection on human experience. Her trust in the creative process led to something truly meaningful and visually powerful.
🥉 3rd place – Ella Ron
The youngest participant in the competition, Nela impressed with her brave and emotionally honest work. Living in a conflict zone, her art reflects the impact of war on the youngest generation—especially influenced by the events of October 7th. Her style is strikingly mature, and her expression heartfelt.
