OD Art Awards 2025

Art heals the invisible

Creativity as a channel for healing, art as a safe space, expression as a refuge. The OD Art Awards 2025 open their new call for entries under a powerful and urgent slogan: "Art heals the invisible". This edition invites us to explore a deeply sensitive and topical issue: Mental Health.

Focus: Mental Health

This year, we are looking for works that speak of the intangible, the vulnerable, the often unseen but strongly felt. We invite artists to submit pieces that inspire, accompany, calm, liberate or invite reflection on themes such as the soul, inner noise, balance or disorder.

The interpretation is free, but must be justified by the author and approved by the organisers. Only unpublished works, created specifically for this edition of the competition, will be accepted.

Awards

The organisation will award three financial prizes to the most outstanding works:
- First prize: 1,500 euros
- Second prize: 800 euros
- Third prize: 300 euros

In the event of a tie, the amount shall be divided equally.

Format and dimensions

Works will be accepted in the following disciplines: painting, sculpture, photography, installation and digital art.
The maximum size allowed is 110 x 110 cm. If the work exceeds these dimensions, it must be communicated in advance to the organisers, who will assess its acceptance according to the space available and safety conditions.

Key dates
- Registration: open until 50 participants or until 30 August 2025 at 15:00.
- Delivery of work: 26 September 2025 before 14:00 h at Ocean Drive Talamanca.
- Exhibition and awards ceremony: 1 October 2025 at Ocean Drive Talamanca.

Transport and responsibilities

The transport of the works will be the sole responsibility of the artist, both in shipping and collection. OD Hotels cannot be held responsible for any damage or loss during transport or during the exhibition.

Jury and selection

The works will be evaluated by a jury that will be announced in advance to the participants. Their decision will be final and cannot be subject to appeal.

Information about the work

Each artist must submit a technical sheet with the following information:
- Title
- Technical
- Dimensions
- Price (optional, if you wish to offer it for sale)

This information will be accessible during the exhibition via a QR code.

Acceptance of the rules

Participation in the OD Art Awards 2025 implies the temporary transfer of the work for exhibition and full acceptance of all the rules of participation. Under no circumstances does the organisation acquire ownership of the works.
The organisers reserve the right to change the dates or postpone the event for reasons beyond their control.

An invitation to create from the depths

The OD Art Awards are not just a competition, but a space where art becomes a language capable of connecting experiences, emotions and realities that often remain hidden.

We invite you to share your vision, explore the invisible and be part of this unique edition dedicated to mental health.
