Minted + West Elm Art Challenge

Submission dates: April 4 - April 26

In the Minted + West Elm Art Challenge, we were thrilled to partner with West Elm. West Elm is not only at the forefront of modern, eclectic home design and decor, but also shares our fundamental passion for supporting independent artists like you. Our shared dedication to allowing customers and fans to discover artists from all over the world makes our partnership a perfect fit. We asked the Minted Community to create fresh, modern art prints that would jump right off the walls and provide the perfect complement to West Elm’s fresh, chic rooms. You can see the top 20 designs, as voted by a community of designers, customers, friends, and fans below.

The top 20 designs each earned awards ranging from $200 to $1000. For this design challenge, the first place winner earns a $1000 cash award. 47 pieces were also picked as Minted Editor's Picks. Top-rated pieces, including Editor's Picks, sold on Minted.com will receive a cash prize, plus 8% commission on all net sales. West Elm also selected 24 pieces to be sold through West Elm and featured online and in stores. Congratulations to all!
