The Digital Color Awards.
Topic: Art contest
Digital Color provides recognition for outstanding contemporary artists. It has accepted nominations for and granted monthly awards since September 1999. Artwork of the nominees that is exhibited on Digital Consciousness and elsewhere on the Internet is judged by a jury.

The winner is announced on the 23rd of each month through the Digital Consciousness newsletter and other media. The winner is entitled to free gallery service from Digital Consciousness for one year. This includes gallery hosting and access to an Internet Publishing Robot that allows for upload of images and information and for editing through a control panel.

The work of the winning artist is featured on the Digital Color Artist of the Month page for a month and thereafter in the Permanent Gallery of Digital Color Winners.

Anthony J. Petchkis
Anthony J. Petchkis is the August 2004 Digital Color Artist of the Month. Anthony is a Boston based landscape artist who has been exhibiting continuously for the past 20 years. His art has focused on the New England and Adirondack Regions.

Although Anthony continues to be inspired by the great American masters of the Hudson River School, his individual vision is unique. His media include oil on canvas and pastel on rag board or paper, which is painted not drawn to create a homogeneous finish, and can be perceived as photographic. Anthony publishes giclee prints in limited editions to seventy-five.
