The Art and Olfaction Awards

There are presently no open calls for submissions.

Welcome to the 11th Art and Olfaction Awards.

Hello! Welcome to the submissions form for the 11th Art and Olfaction Awards. We're so excited to launch our eleventh year, and are honored that you are considering participating. 

This mechanism, while highly competitive, is designed to celebrate the independent, artisan and experimental perfumers that make our world a more exciting, aromatic place. 

Whether you decide to submit your work or not, or whether you submit and make the finalists or not, please consider coming to the 11th Awards, which will take place at the end of May, in Los Angeles. Everyone who wants to come is welcome. 

Before you submit, please take a moment to read the information below as it contains important instructions and notes.

On a Personal Note...

The Art and Olfaction Awards are an extremely competitive mechanism, with submissions from all over the world. Before you submit, please take a moment to acknowledge and reflect upon the fact that it is possible that your work will not make the finals. This is no reflection on the overall value of your perfume, or on you as a person. If competition is painful, to you, we encourage you to participate in our programs in other ways. 

If you have any questions, please email us! We're here to help, and happy to do so. Our email address is hello@artandolfaction.com.
