This art publication opportunity is very competitive, and only a few artists are chosen to be published in each issue of Observica's quarterly contemporary art magazine. 

Jury Process

The jury team usually includes 3-5 members for each art opportunity. We use two phases for jurying. The first phase of jurying is the Yes/No selection, and the 2nd part is the scoring model. For scoring, each jury member scores artworks from 1 to 10. Artworks with the highest scores in the "Yes" group will be selected. 

Why Selection Fee?

Submission to our art opportunities is free, and we only ask the selected artists to pay a fixed fee to proceed. 

This decision was made in good faith because we wanted artists to only pay when selected. We have a thorough jury process, as our art calls are popular and have a low acceptance rate.

Money-Back Guarantee: All selection fee payments are supported by a money-back guarantee option until the opening day of the exhibition (no questions asked).
