June 2016 Art Challenge (International)

Theme: Transportation

This challenge is open to artists of all ages and abilities.

Many times when someone sends in art or writing for a contest, publication, etc., the work doesn’t even get considered because the person submitting it did not follow the rules. So the purpose of this challenge is to:

  • create something new
  • practice following guidelines
  • meet a deadline

Prize

But there will be a prize! Each entry will be evaluated based on:

  • Skill level (with consideration to the age of the artist)
  • Creativity
  • Adherence to the theme

The top entries will be announced the day after the contest closes. The winner will then be chosen from the top entries by a random drawing. Each entry will be assigned a number. A number will then be chosen using Random.org. The entry with the matching number wins!

The winner will receive a small prize package or a $15 (USD) gift card to Blick Art Supplies or Amazon.com.

This month’s theme: TRANSPORTATION

What do you use to get around? Transportation can include boats, cars, bicycles, hot air balloons — even horses! And don’t forget fictional kinds of transportation. Your picture might depict a TIE fighter from Star Wars or a fairy riding a dragonfly. You can view all of the entries here. 

Official Rules

*Only one entry per person.

*All ages are welcome to enter.

*Entries must be submitted using the form below.

*Entries must follow the theme. 

*Entries can be made from any type of media, including pastel, oils pastel, pen, pencil, charcoal, acrylics, watercolor, oils, mixed media, collage, or three-dimensional art. Computer images must be your original work — no altered photographs.

*Entries should be the sole work of the entrant. You MUST NOT submit someone else’s work and say it is yours. Claiming someone else’s artwork is stealing. If you send in someone else’s artwork as your own, you will be disqualified from all contests offered by this site.

*Entries that do not follow the guidelines won’t be posted. While I try to contact those who have entered to let them know, sometimes I just run out of time. Please be sure your entry meets all of the guidelines. 

*To upload an entry, you may either scan a copy of the artwork or take a photograph. If taking a photograph, be sure the photo shows the artwork clearly.

  1. Dear Samantha,
    My daughter sent her work to the competition titled “Transport”. The work we sent the day before. I have to admit She was very anxious to see her work published, among other fine works. I hope that we will be able to do something about this issue.

  2. I was wondering how to find out who the top entries were for the drawing? I thought I read they would be posted the next day after the competition ended but I haven’t been able to figure out where to find them. Thanks!

    • You’re right! But I didn’t realize how many entries there would be in the last couple of days, and I am still getting them posted. Will have the top entries up soon!

  3. Yesterday I uploaded my daughter’s picture ” My Dreamland” for the June monthly contest (Transportation). Her age is posted wrong she is 6 years old not 8 years.
    Please let me know how can I make the correction.
    Thank you.

  4. My son submitted his artwork for the June 2016 Transportation contest. How to confirm that his artwork got submitted?

  5. My little one and I just discovered this site =) She is very excited to see her work posted next to the other wonderful artwork. Thank you Samantha for creating such an inspirational site.

  6. This is very good opportunity to creators like me. I am congratulate to Samantha Bell to give this great opportunity.
    I expressive my own idea about transportation.
