Introducing the "Pursuing Excellence with Xencelabs" digital art challenge! This online contest invites artists of all styles to share their unique perspective on their own "pursuit of excellence".
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!
Your Creative Philosophy
Create a piece that reflects your unique approach to art. Show us what drives you, your personal philosophy on creativity, and how you strive for excellence in your work.
Admiration and Appreciation

Challenging Yourself
Step out of your comfort zone and explore new creative techniques, styles, or mediums. Show us how you push your boundaries in your pursuit of excellence.
Capturing Moments
Create a piece that captures moments in life that reflect the spirit of excellence—whether through scenes in nature, people, or powerful emotions. Show us your unique perspective on what excellence looks like in everyday moments.
