Published the 11th of March 2026

 

'Numbers as Art Objects'
The visual impact and form of numbers can be used to create intriguing compositions open to multiple interpretations. They generate visual interest and facilitate new artistic expressions. Excellent images of great visual interest were submitted.

The winners with the most votes are: 
1st place : Hans-Wolfgang Hawerkamp

2nd place: monkichi
3rd place : Fernando Alves

Congratulations to the winners and honourable mentions.
Thanks to all the participants in the contest 'Numbers as Art Objects' 

 

The currently running theme is 'Signs as objects of Art'
Signs can function as a form of direct communication or as a symbolic language. Designed to instruct or regulate, they often reveal much more when removed from their context by a photographic lens. The resulting text and imagery can then become expressive, ironic or poetic. Get inspired by this recent article.

There are some problems in the 'Contest' menu for the moment.
Previous topic ended on Thursday the 10th of Marchin the afternoon instead of on Sunday the 8th of March at midnight.
We're trying to fix this and more topics will be transmitted as soon as possible.
Sorry for this.

If everything is back to normal, this contest will end on Sunday the 22nd of March 2026
at midnight.
The sooner you upload your submission the more chance you have to gather the most votes.
