The ROYGBIV Color Awards celebrate the excitement, energy and unpredictability of color. We are surrounded by colors and it's how we see the world, so this theme is, in a sense, easy. But understanding how clever use of colors from such a vast canvas of possibilities can help convey not only feelings and emotions but also moods which enhances the imagery you have captured requires a certain artistry. Send us your best colorful artworks today.

- Abstract and Contemporary:
Entries should be either abstract or unusual in its subject matter or depict visual image that does not have an immediate association with the object world. Such works may " isolate a fragment of a natural scene in order to remove its inherent context from the viewer", or may "be purposely staged to create a seemingly unreal appearance from real objects", or may "involve the use of color, light, shadow, texture, shape and/or form to convey a feeling, sensation or impression". Abstract and contemporary artworks usually carry meanings of "greater weight than its subject matter".- Landscape and Nature:
Landscape photography shows spaces and expanses within the world, usually vast and unending, rather than focusing on a specific object. Landscape photographs typically capture the presence of nature but can also focus on man-made features or disturbances of landscapes. Nature photography refers to a wide range of photography taken outdoors and devoted to displaying natural elements such as landscapes, wildlife, plants, and close-ups of natural scenes and textures.- Open
