It's a showcase for you, the artist to display your talent as well as to gain exposure. HNM is free of charge. A cash prize is awarded to one artist who exemplifies HNM's aesthetic. I want to give what I can to artists and further support our creative efforts by holding this event. The contest allows 10 artists to enter.

Official entries are promoted and publicized through Facebook as well as here on blogspot. The night of, you will compete for a chance at the $300 grand prize.

Grand Finale

The winner of HNM earns the title "Champion Creator" and presents alongside Sun, the mysterious protagonist of "The Chronicles of Sun".

Who is Sun, however.. ? It is said that he was a revered creator whose ability of connecting to people and their innermost emotions inspired him and his people to new levels of creation and love. He was the creator of "Heaven", his greatest masterpiece. It is the highest widespread of emotion, thought and remembrance of all the love he shared with Earth and its people, embodied into one everlasting heart. Sun had gone missing for much time.

Sun will appear once again at Heaven No More to reveal his identity and see off the newly crowned champion.
