Scrolling through the Finalists in the annual Beautiful Bizarre Art Prize is always a source of great inspiration for me. The diversity of the work, the skill and the creativity  demonstrated in the chosen finalists is always astounding. Of the 25 Finalists in each of the 5 competition categories, here is a selection of some entries that I quite enjoyed spending some time with.

While it’s exciting to see which entries the jury panel chooses for the top awards, with this competition, it is often surprising and always fun to see which work of all the Finalists is chosen for the People’s Choice Award. It’s easy to vote for your favorite (or favorites – it’s always challenging to choose just one!) at the link below. There are many more to choose from on the site.
