Final Week Left to Submit to Artist of the year Award 2025

There are moments in an artist’s journey that feel different from the rest moments when the path doesn’t just continue but opens up, when the light shifts in a way you can’t ignore, and something inside your whispers, This could change everything. These are the moments that shape us, the ones that ask us to step forward, trust our instincts, and offer our work to a wider world. And right now, you’re standing at the edge of one of those moments.

For years, artists everywhere have been searching for spaces that truly honour who they are and what they create not just platforms that display images, but communities that understand the weight of each piece. Places that recognize the long nights spent refining an idea, the risks taken when you follow your own voice, the years of practice that happen quietly when no one is watching, and the courage required to shape something meaningful out of nothing but vision, commitment, and heart.

This new initiative was born from that longing from the desire to build a home for artists who deserve to be seen, heard, and celebrated for the depth of their work. It was created for those who are ready to step into new opportunities, to share their stories more boldly, and to be part of something built with intention, care, and real belief in the power of art.

And now, its very first chapter is about to be written.

You have one final week to be part of it one week to raise your hand, step forward, and claim a place in something that could expand your journey in ways you may not even imagine yet. If your heart is tugging at you, if a small part of you feels that familiar spark… follow it. Moments like this don’t come around often, and they rarely wait.

A Global Call Unlike Any Other

The Artist of the Year 2025 marks the beginning of a new tradition by the Arts to Hearts Project, a tradition shaped by respect for artists, devotion to creative excellence, and a desire to build a global legacy that grows with each passing year. This initiative is not a momentary open call; it is an annual archive that will continue to honour artists across time. Each year, one hundred artists from around the world will be carefully selected and published in the Artist of the Year, a premium hardcover collectible crafted with intention and built to last.

What truly distinguishes this initiative and gives it its remarkable sense of purpose is the defining honour at its centre: the naming of The Artist of the Year. This recognition reaches far beyond a simple title. It reflects years of mastery, tireless dedication, and the rare ability to create work that doesn’t just exist in the world but moves it. To be selected for the inaugural 2025 edition is to step into the foundation of a legacy that will grow, evolve, and continue to honor artists for generations to come.

This first chapter will be remembered. And those chosen to be part of it will forever hold a place in its beginning a moment that only happens once.

You now find yourself standing in front of this opportunity with just one week left to make your mark. One week to step into a space built for artists with vision, courage, and a story worth sharing. If something within you is stirring, trust it. This is your moment to answer.

Why This Final Week Matters

This is the moment where many artists hesitate and it’s often that hesitation, not lack of talent, that holds them back from opportunities that could transform their path. With the deadline approaching on December 1st, 2025, this is the week where the clock runs faster, where the window grows smaller, and where the decision you make carries weight. There is something powerful about choosing yourself, especially when time is running out. There is something courageous about saying, my work deserves to be seen, especially when doubt whispers the opposite.

Imagine holding the Artist of the Year 2025 Book one day and turning to the page where your artwork lives. Imagine knowing that your piece now exists in a collectible that travels between homes, studios, galleries, and hands all over the world. Imagine being part of the very first edition one that future artists will look back on as the beginning of a global legacy.

None of that happens without the decision you make this week.

This Is Your Moment & The Clock Is Ticking

In seven days, submissions will close, and the first chapter of the Artist of the Year archive will begin taking shape. You have one week to step into an opportunity that could redefine your visibility, your artistic path, and your connection to a global creative community. One week to believe that your art carries power. One week to act before the door closes.

Submit before December 1st, 2025. Let your work take its place in something lasting, meaningful, and historic.

Your art is ready.
Your voice is ready.
And this is your moment.
