About 99 World Artists: We are a global community of handpicked emerging artists from across the world. Our mission is to promote diversity and inclusion in Art. We find hidden talent from every corner of the earth, providing guidance and assistance to artists to help them promote their work.

We have carefully selected a panel of judges. Including representatives from the Arts Council UK. Each judge has a diverse set of interests and specialisms. The judges will be looking for creativity, interesting ideas and skilful execution. The Contest is to select the artists, rather than judge a single painting.
