How it works

Who can enter

Students of creative disciplines and artists at the start of their career. Any nationality.

How to enter

Register a seller cabinet and add your works. Your works and biography are published on the platform automatically and go into the vote.

What the winner gets

Four winners, one in each nomination. Each receives a feature in CodeKY Magazine, promotion of their works on the site and personal curation from CodeKY in the field of patronage projects.

We support young artists

We support young artists

CodeKY cares about the future of students in creative fields and gives them particular terms for showing their work on the platform.

We are building a programme of cooperation with art academies and universities around the world, to look for ways of sharpening the craft of young artists.

We have started a student competition on our platform, to give new names a stage and to share new ways of seeing with the world.

We invite patrons to join us, so that together we can open new doors for the winners! This part of what we do is charitable, and it is aimed at making this world better.

Join our CodeKY universe.

The winner is chosen by our users

The winner is chosen by our users

The winner is decided by the number of votes from platform users. You may vote for one work in each nomination — the nominations are judged separately and each has its own winner. While voting is open, entrants' works appear in the feed on the home page — seen by visitors from all over the world.

We announce the start of the contest in your cabinet. The full terms are there too.

Contest patrons

The contest does not rest on us alone. A patron backs it with a contribution — and takes part in the winner's path, rather than simply giving money.

  • Contribution

    The patron supports the contest prize fund.

  • An opportunity for the winner

    Beyond the prize — whatever the patron can offer: a commission, a residency, an exhibition, mentorship. Agreed with them personally.

  • Presence on the site

    The patron's name and logo appear on the contest page and in material about it.

  • A story of their own

    For a significant contribution — an article in the CodeKY magazine about the patron and their part in the contest.

The size of a contribution and what each one carries are agreed personally. Write to us and we will send the terms.
