“The Canvas of Leadership” Cover Art Contest hosted by the Aspen Institute’s Leadership Seminars department invites artists to creatively explore themes of leadership through visual art. This Contest celebrates the power of artistic expression to inspire reflection and human-centered leadership and may feature the winning artwork on the cover of the Aspen Executive Seminar book–allowing Seminar participants to further engage with the ideas that have shaped our world and explore what we owe ourselves, our organizations, and our communities as leaders.
This year’s Contest invites artists to reflect on and creatively express one or both of the following concepts:
● Dialogue across Difference
● Understanding over Agreement
We’re looking for original artworks that speak to the transformative power of leadership, dialogue, and reflection in today’s complex world. In this context, “art” is defined as a printed or digital artwork that mixes imagery and text to convey a message or idea. Submissions will be accepted electronically through an online Entry Form and must comply with the 2026 Rules & Guidelines.
Entries must be submitted by 11:59 p.m. Pacific Standard Time on August 16, 2026. Winners will be announced in October 2026. Please visit the website link for more information!
