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.
Artist must include in the online registration a statement specific to each entered piece describing it and explaining the connection to the “All You Need Is Love” theme. This information will be included on the website and on wall tags if your piece is chosen. A written statement MUST accompany each entry.
