Scored blind
Every judge in a category scores every entry against the same criteria. The average decides.
The work.
Not the name.
Our judges are a panel of industry experts from around the world. Online competition entries are coded, so judges see an entry number, never a name.

Online competition · Australia · back for 2027
Gloves up,
Australia.
Last year we took the Online Competition across the ditch with a handful of categories, and the talent blew us away. So we're coming back for 2027.
Some of the best work on our judges' screens came from Australian artists, and it deserves to be recognised. Enter from anywhere in Australia, put your work in front of an international judging panel, and get the recognition you've earned.
