Submission to enter for competition is September 1, 2026 ending on September 16, 2026. A voting site will then be advertised to the public when the competition begins on September 18, 2026 and ending on October 2, 2026. The doll that receives the most votes when the voting closes at midnight on October 2, 2026 (Mountain Standard Time) will be the winner.
When entering, please use the form below (Only for the People's Choice Event): The information required is the artist's full name, artist's studio (if applicable), and a space for your interpretation of the entered art doll (interpretation of the doll with a few words of storytelling about your creation for example).
Preparing the photo of the doll: The photo must be taken in front of a neutral background so there are no distractions from the doll and so that the public can see the doll properly. Any excess should be cropped from the photos so the sculpting is the only focus. No watermarks, studio names, or artist information can be placed on the photos. The sculpture can be shared on social media platforms but public voting must be completed at the IADR website.
