About the Blue Square Art Competition:
Entries must be original works created by the artist within the previous 12 months.
Blue Square is an inclusive art competition open to artists of all ages and levels of experience, from first-time exhibitors to established artists.
We believe that one person can make a difference and that every artist and every artwork matters.
Every work that meets the entry requirements is exhibited.
We also believe that together we are greater than one person alone. By bringing hundreds of individual artworks together in the same 16 × 16 inch format, Blue Square becomes more than a collection of individual works — it becomes a large-scale art installation in its own right.
