2nd Annual Algorithmic Art Contest Announcement!

2nd Annual Algorithmic Art Contest Announcement

🎨🚀 Announcing the Second Annual Algorithmic Art Contest!

Last year, we watched code turn into canvases and algorithms transform into art. From mesmerizing geometric patterns to unexpected visual stories written entirely in code, the response to our first Algorithmic Art Contest was incredible.

Now, we’re thrilled to announce the Second Annual Algorithmic Art Contest — and we’re inviting creators from around the world to merge the boundaries of art and computation once again.

Whether you’re a seasoned programmer, a math enthusiast, a digital artist, or someone who’s just curious about creative coding, this contest is for you.

✨ What Is Algorithmic Art?

Algorithmic art (or math-art) is art created using code, logic, and mathematical ideas. Instead of brushes and paint, you work with loops, equations, randomness, and structure, letting algorithms shape beauty in unexpected ways.

No prior experience in art or advanced coding is required. Curiosity is enough.

🗓️ Submission Deadline
