At Hotel Eliseo, we believe that hospitality begins with the little details. For years, our guests have found a welcome card in their room, designed as a simple but sincere gesture.
Over the past two years, these cards have been enriched with three original watercolors created by Anna Rosa and Maria Regina. Now, we want to renew this tradition, and we’ve decided to do it in the most beautiful way possible: by involving you, our guests.
Thus was born the Hotel Eliseo Drawing & Painting Contest, open to all our clients who love art and creativity, with no age or style limits.
🌊 The Idea
We are looking for new images for the welcome cards that guests will find upon arrival in their rooms. Small works capable of conveying emotions, memories, and feelings connected to our place. The contest is open to everyone, with no professional requirements — all that matters is the desire to create.
🏖️ Theme
The theme is open, but your artwork should evoke at least one of the following elements:
-
the sea, boats, the harbor, seagulls
-
the beach
-
something that reminds you of or evokes your stay at Hotel Eliseo
✨ Style and creativity
There are no limits to your imagination:
-
classic or modern styles
-
watercolor, painting, drawing, illustration, comic
-
realistic or symbolic interpretations
The only requirement is that the image is suitable to become a welcome card, intended for the hotel rooms, which may be occupied by both Italian and international guests.
📐 Format
-
Orientation: vertical
-
Approximate size: 8 × 12 cm
If larger artworks are submitted, the image will be digitally resized and adapted to the dimensions of the welcome card.
