Submit a piece that reflects what drives you as an artist. It could represent a challenge you've overcome, honor someone who has inspired your creativity, or simply capture what motivates you—whether it's friends, family, nature, or anything else close to your heart.
Feel free to use these examples as inspiration, but don't feel limited to these four themes—let your imagination run wild!
