ENTRY CLOSED | ALL YOU NEED IS LOVE

The All You Need Is Love theme was both suggested by our customers and voted on by our customers with it receiving nearly half the votes of the 5 nominated themes. With all the added strife in our lives for the past few of years, focusing on something that few can argue with, the value of love, seems to be what everyone needs. Artists, this theme is wide open. You can focus on human relationships, human and animal bonds, the symbology of love, pure color and movement, and much more. Use your imagination to create your own, original interpretation of All You Need Is Love.

• Theme Clarity – interpretation and the clarity of the work in relation to the theme
• Originality – Creativity and originality of the work
• Overall Composition – Quality of artistic composition and overall design
