This year’s theme was ‘Freedom’ (and cannabis of course) giving the artist and absolute independence in deciding what this theme means to them and how can they translate it into their art pieces. Creators from all around the world participated in this incredible contest and on April 21st the winners were announced.

The winner of this year’s ‘High Art’ Contest and a $25.000 prize is Mike Oncley and his art piece named ‘Onjha’ portraying a young lady holding a joint in her hand wearing glasses that reflect a lively city in front of her. The creator of this contest Dona wrote a letter to all of the contestants explaining that a decision was made not to give the whole prize to the winner and give $10.000 to a charity instead, ‘My idea was to find international organizations with positive, caring missions that help people and animals in times of need. I wanted to see the love spread as far as it could go. I personally chose the organizations that the winner will select in order to donate $10k of the $25k prize money. In the words of Tony Robbins, ‘The secret to living is giving.”
