How ArtWars Works (5 stages)
Built for fairness, discovery, and raw talent. Randomized battles, real voting, and a finals showdown where labels disappear.
Stage
1. 10 Art Categories
Artists submit their original works into one of ten global categories, spanning all artistic styles and mediums. From traditional to digital, every genre has space. Every voice counts.
- Original works only
- One global stage
- All styles and mediums welcome
Stage
2. Randomized Match-Ups
During the voting period, the system randomly pairs two artists from the same category. No two rounds are the same. No favoritism. No algorithm boosting. Just pure art and passion.
- Random pairing
- Same-category battles
- No favoritism
Stage
3. Fan & Founders Circle Voting
Votes come from both fans and Founders Circle members. Each vote determines which artist advances in the rankings — your voice shapes the future.
- Fans vote
- Founders Circle vote
- Your voice moves the ladder
Stage
4. Top 10 Advance to the Finals
At the end of the voting period, the top 10 artists in each category — based on the highest votes — will move on to the final stage.
- Top 10 per category
- Vote-based advancement
- Finals qualification
Stage
5. Finals: No Categories. Pure Battle.
In the finals, all categories disappear. Artists are matched randomly — abstract vs. street art, digital vs. oils, photography vs. AI art — anything goes. It’s all about the art, not the labels. The artist with the highest total votes in the final showdown becomes the ARTWARS CHAMPION.
- Categories removed
- Random finals match-ups
- Highest total votes wins
