This year, our calendar painting competition revolved around the colour red. An open theme, determined only by this primary colour. We asked you to take a journey and experience the power of what this colour can incite. “Work in a figurative way or create abstract works of art. Express yourself with the most powerful of all colours, extensively or as an accent in your artwork!” stated our call for entries. Over 900 artists from 38 countries have responded to this appeal by submitting more than 2,000 images. Many thanks to all participants!
From all submissions, 36 fantastic artworks made it onto our shortlist. These artworks were presented in a video.
The twelve winning artworks are now revealed. They can be seen in the gallery on our website. Click here. Congratulations to all winners!
Fans and participants of our annual competition already know: the Hahnemühle calendar is not for sale. You can win one in our upcoming Christmas raffles here on the blog, in our newsletter, on Facebook and on Instagram. Keep your eyes open for announcements so you have the chance to enjoy one of the limited art calendars soon!
