JUDGES were sent the photos below and instructed to rate the submissions from 1 to the number of entries – with 1 as their favorite and the last number in each group as their least favorite. Final judging was blind and the photos did not have the name of the submitter nor any information other than the title of the work. Judges were instructed that if they recognized the work of a particular artist, they were to recuse themself from voting on that work.

Everyone connected to the Expo thought the entries were thought-provoking and inspiring. Especially some of the artist’s descriptions of their methodology and raison d’être for creating. Once the ratings were all in, the votes were averaged and the winners were chosen by the math. Often the differences in placement were small fractions. There’s a lot of inspired work here . . .

Thanks and blessings to everyone involved. On Sun. March 26, we hosted an online Zoom Breakfast Celebration, meeting with artists that work with us and spoke with many who submitted to this Expo. The Zoom call included poetry, music, and a few chefs (from NYC, LA, CA, and Honolulu) sharing their breakfast specialties. Check it out at the link and join us for future Expos and Creative Zoom encounters.

If you hover over the photos below, Artist information should appear (depending on your technology). 

ZO keeps the work of our final judging pool and often highlights it on our various web and social media pages – with your credits of course. We also sometimes pair photos with poetry and other creative faire. We would appreciate you adding ZO’s website to your press pages (if you have them) and following us on social media – as we will you. ZO is an artist-to-artist support community. Welcome to the family!
