There’s no single way to approach this theme. Artists might draw on personal dreams, the past, community life and relationships, technology and innovation, the environment, or the impact they want to make. Some pieces might celebrate progress and optimism. Others might sit with uncertainty, loss, or the unknown. Still others might imagine entirely new ways of living, connecting, or seeing the world. This isn’t about predicting what will happen. It’s about asking: What future are we imagining—and what future are we helping to create? Artists are encouraged to interpret the theme broadly. All mediums and perspectives are welcome. ELIGIBILITY Artists ages 16 and up residing in the United States. Artists must be at least 16 by the date of their submission.
