Elevate Newer Artists
While the current mechanics reward quality, there’s concern that newer voices get overlooked unless they win.
Ideas to uplift them:
A monthly or weekly “community artist pick” highlighted from non-winners.
From rotating curators to surface lesser-known talent
Encouraging artists to write a 1–2 line artist statement to enrich submissions.
Behind-the-scenes content or interviews to deepen artist visibility
