  • Global Amazon Art Contest
  • Online Social Media Event



Now, is the time for AMAZONIA-R-EVOLUTION, where we must re-invent our lives to be ecologically sustainable and more socially just to ensure a healthy planet for all of the people, plants and animals that live here. This project is a creative initiative to unite voices to manifest change with a new vision of Amazonia through art. Utilizing social media and other tools of modern technology, we are bringing people together to plant seeds that will grow into a deeper connection and understanding of indigenous peoples.

The contest is open to all kinds of works from individuals, groups and organizations. It has been divided into 6 categories and will have three winners in each including: traditional art, photography, video/film, sculpture/3D, multi-media, open. The awards will vary depending on the category and to the contributions which we obtain. The winners will be selected by a panel of Amazonia artists, photographers, film makers, writers, anthropologists, public figures, and environmental scientists.

We are seeking prizes for each section and a very special one for the winner of the Peoples Choice, The Voice of AMAZONIA-R-EVOLUTION! Ideally, we are looking for cash, cameras, trips, art supplies, rainforest products, and platforms in which to present the winners works.

In alliance with several museums, galleries and schools, the contest will highlight different programs which will offer direct marketing and exposure. The launch is scheduled for September 25th at the SLOVENE ETHNOGRAPHIC MUSEUM  with the installation of  ‘The Cosmic Anaconda’, which will be presented live cam in conjunction of the itinerant exhibition: Orinoco by the Cisneros Foundation. Following there will be several other events featured in Mexico, Austria, Venezuela and in the USA.

We must empower everyone to feel the strength of their own voice, and that we can make a difference. Let's see what the world has to express and come together through art and recognize the greatest rainforest on earth with it’s biodiversity and beautiful people. Join us and GET TRIBAL with AMAZONIA-R-EVOLUTION, a new vision for the world!
