Curator’s Picks Contest

Did you know there is a neat way to discover a wide range of standout work on Imagekind that has been hand-picked to catch your eyeballs and make you think? There is, and we call it our Curator’s Picks. These are located in our Shop section, under both Member Art, and Museum Art. They usually showcase a collection of different styles based on changing themes - which we tend to put a little editorial effort toward, so we thought we’d up the ante and make these sets a bit more interactive.

Thus the Curator’s Picks Contest is born!

Here’s how it works:

  • The contest is based around the Curators Picks for Member Art only right now. You can view those in our Shop section of the site, under the sub-section Member Art.
  • These picks are put together with a common theme in mind - your job is to guess that theme, or get as close as possible! These themes are usually a bit more detailed than they might first appear, for example, here is the current set:

  • The theme for the above collection isn’t as simple as “music”, or even “musical instruments”. This set is “closeup musical instrument photography with shadows“. Not all themes will be this intricate , but they will definitely contain more than one trait - which you will find clues to in the image subjects, and their titles, and even how the collection as a whole goes together.
  • When you think you’ve got the right answer, go to the Imagekind Forum and join the corresponding discussion under the category Contest - Curator’s Picks. There you can post your best guess…
  • But! That’s not quite everything! In addition to your best guess for the theme, you also need to go out and find another work of art on Imagekind that fits in the theme, and post that link along with your guess!
  • The winner is the first member with the closest guess. You can feel free to talk all about the contest or the set, but you can only make 1 official entry for each time. You can edit that entry too, but that will reset your entry time - so make those guesses count!
  • Sound fun? We hope so, because the winner will get a promo good for $25 off on any Imagekind order!

Each time the sets change you’ve got a new chance to win, so keep your eye out! The first set that is eligible for the contest will be going up today!
