          THIRD ANNUAL VISPO CONTEST

We asked you to give us a wide array of visual poems, and boy did you deliver! Thank you so much to the 57 artists who participated in this year's contest, giving us a grand total of 84 entries. We picked our top three winners and two honourable mentions, along with 20 other pieces to be featured as part of the Vispo Gallery 2023. What was especially interesting this year was the fact that we were able to sequence the slideshow, somewhat loosely, to cover a range of topics, styles, and genres. We hope you enjoy diving into them!
