At an annual on-screen art show – probably in the city of Cologne or in the Studio Gallery “Apollinaire”

2. Jury Awards

There is a jury competition for small format images and an annual jury competition for large format artworks:

a) All LOUNGE-book series are part of the annual contest for large artworks (with one selected artwork)
b) The book series “ART RETREAT” is part of the contest for small pictures (miniprint and mixed media).

In the competition with small-format pictures, up to 25 prizes are awarded; in the annual competition with large-format pictures, there are up to 16 prizes. The ‘Enter into Art’ jury awards are divided into Excellence Prizes, Honorary Prizes and Amber Awards. Respectively about 30% of finalists (nominated artists) will be selected by an international First Juror. In addition to the award winners finalists are also mentioned and highlighted on our English and German websites.

The Excellence Prizes will be judged by several international jurors from different countries and continents. The Honorary Prizes and the Amber Awards will be judged by our editorial team.

The jury and editorial prizes of the LOUNGE series are only announced on the Internet and not in the books. The award winning pictures of the small format contest are highlighted in the book “Art Retreat” as part of the book design and they are also published all together on the cover of the book “Art Retreat”.

The jury and editorial award ceremony for the larger artworks takes place once a year. Anyone who has paid and has sent artworks up then for participation in a book will enter the competition with an artwork. If you participate in several book projects, you can enter the annual contest with several artworks (usually one selected artwork per book).

The jury awards will be judged by several international jurors from different countries and continents:

There are four main prizes each (first, second, third and special prize).
There are excellent and honorary prizes.
There are various additional awards for art techniques and styles (Amber Awards).
After a basic selection of the original pictures, up to 30% finalists (nominated artists) will be selected by an international First Juror.

Rewards for jury prizes and editorial prizes:

All prizes for large artworks will be rewarded in the form of PR publications in German on the Internet. All these blog posts with your artwork and our aesthetic consideration (mini websites) will be tagged with our winner banners. The additional prizes (Amber Awards) will be awarded by a joint blog post.
