Photography is actually a wonderful medium for a young person to just go out and discover themselves and discover the world around them. It gives them permission to go out and have a purpose and observe.

Stein Ward Studio is formerly All About Amateurs Virtual Art Gallery. The studio was originally founded in 2022 by a small group of amateur photographers and artists based in Indiana whose passion for telling stories through artwork inspired this gallery. We are 100% online. The gallery merged with a new partner in 2023 to form Stein Ward Studio. Most of our competitions offer both professional and amateur categories. We host several competitions throughout the year and all entries are managed through CaFÉ. Artists can compete for cash prizes, free entries into future calls and exhibit their work in our online studio.  Please feel free to look through the current winners' galleries and news on future and current calls for entry below.  Feel free to contact us via the contact form at the bottom of the page or by emailing us at admin@steinwardstudio.com.

Stein Ward Studio awarded over $3,500 in cash and prizes to winners in competitions in 2023.
