The organisers of “Art around the World” are pleased to announce that the winners of the Artistic Photography Contest have been selected and informed of their outstanding achievement.

Congratulations to our successful photographers. We also want to thank everyone for taking part in the Art around the World Artistic Photography Contest. Due to the very high quality of the majority of photographs submitted we were not able to include all of the outstanding art in the final list of winners; however, this is not a reflection of your artistic talent and skill as a photographer; we would also encourage you to participate in our 2012 Contest.

The complete list of winners and special recognition have been featured on: www.artaroundtheworld.co.uk/gallery.html

Art around the World is an online art gallery for emerging and undiscovered artists to showcase their work to the international community. It offers an opportunity to have their pieces of art viewed by new audiences and gain recognition by promoting their art online.
