Negative Space

Competition brief

Explore the power of absence. This theme challenges you to treat empty space not as a void, but as an active compositional force. We're looking for work where what is left out speaks as loudly as what is included — where silence, restraint, and the unseen carry the emotional weight of the piece. Any medium accepted: illustration, photography, typography, product design, architecture, motion, or spatial design.
