New York Art Competitions - "Metropolitan Melodies" Open Call

The Metropolitan Melodies competition is all about capturing the rhythm, energy, and personality of city life.

The theme invites creative takes on city life using any medium—painting, photography, mixed media, sculpture, digital art, and more.

Artists at any career stage are welcome to share their perspectives on urban landscapes, street scenes, and cityscapes. For just $35 for three images, you can showcase your talent and potentially earn career-boosting awards.

Selected works will be featured in the AGI Fine Art exhibition, digital exhibition, blog feature, social media exposure, and more.

Artists are encouraged to explore diverse urban themes that align with the competition's theme of "Metropolitan Melodies." However, all submitted artworks must be available for sale.

There are nine categories for submission: City Skylines, Street Scenes, Urban Landscapes, Cityscapes, Residential Neighborhoods, Historic Districts, Marketplace, Industrial Areas, and Transit Hubs. Artists can choose to submit their work in any of these categories as long as it aligns with the theme of "Metropolitan Melodies."
