About the theme

Inner Landscapes is about how artists turn what cannot be seen — emotions, memories, states of mind — into visual form. The landscape here is internal: a mood, a recollection, a private geography.

Abstract and figurative work are equally welcome, in any medium. We look for pieces where the inner subject is clear and convincingly carried by the work itself, not only by its title.

Frequently asked questions

How often does Inner Landscapes run?

The theme returns roughly once a year. Each edition has its own deadline and results page.

Is it free to enter?

Entry terms are set for each edition and shown on its page. Recent Curatone calls are free to enter, with a one-time finalist fee only if the jury selects your work.

Does the work have to show a landscape?

No. The landscape is an inner one: any subject, abstract or figurative, that expresses an emotional or mental state.

Where can I see past winners?

In the Past editions section on this page and in the winners archive.
