AweSnapp is open to artists worldwide who are at least 18 years old. Emerging artists, beginner artists, self-taught artists, students, photographers, digital creators, and established creatives are welcome to submit.

AweSnapp accepts original visual artwork including painting, drawing, photography, digital art, mixed media, collage, illustration, sculpture, fiber, textile, craft-based fine art, and experimental visual work.

Artists may submit more than one artwork if the current submission form allows multiple entries or additional images. Each work should be original and clearly labeled.

Submissions are reviewed for visual strength, originality, presentation, creative voice, and overall impact. AweSnapp does not require artwork to fit a fixed category or trend.

Each cycle may include up to 100 Selected Artists. From that group, 20 artists are named Spotlight Artists, and 10 artists receive homepage placement as Featured Artists.

Selected artists receive online exhibition placement, public recognition, a digital certificate, and an award badge. Featured and Spotlight Artists receive expanded visibility through homepage or social promotion.
