At Engage Art, we believe creativity is one of the most beautiful ways we reflect the image of God. When we strive for excellence and create from a place of faith, we can make Scripture tangible in new ways.

That’s why we’re thrilled to announce the 2026 Engage Art Contest, a new opportunity to showcase original Scripture-inspired art from around the globe. 

A New Season of Creativity and Calling

The arts have always been central to the story of faith. From the psalmists and temple craftsmen to stained glass windows and sacred music, God’s people have used art to remember His promises and reveal His glory. Yet in our noisy, distracted age, many of us have forgotten the spiritual power of creativity.

The 2026 Engage Art Contest is our way of saying: let’s remember.
Let’s remember that creativity is not a luxury.
Let’s remember that beauty speaks truth.
Let’s remember that art can open hearts to God’s Word.

Why 2026 Matters

This next contest marks a new chapter. We’re shaping Engage Art for the long term: a global platform where Scripture-inspired creativity continues to thrive long after the contest ends. The 2026 Engage Art Contest will highlight artists whose work flows from prayer, Scripture engagement, and authentic creative exploration.

We’re inviting you to be part of this new story—one that honors God through the creative gifts He’s placed in each of us.

Create Boldly. Create Faithfully. Create Together.

Your art matters. It tells the world something about who God is.

As Ephesians 2:10 reminds us, “For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.”
Art is one of those good works.

The 2026 Engage Art Contest is coming. We can’t wait to see what God creates through you.👉 Learn more at engageart.org/contest
