The '''[[Westarctica Art Expo]]''' is an annual art showcase held that is open to any citizen of [[Westarctica]]. The expos are held online, with users digitally submitting a photograph of their work. The first of these expos was held in [[2018 Westarctica Art Expo|2018]].
The '''[[Hobbs Coast]]''' is the portion of the coast of [[Westarctica]] extending from [[Cape Burks]] to a point on the coast opposite eastern [[Dean Island]], at 74°42′S 127°05′W, or between the [[Ruppert Coast]] in the west and the [[Bakutis Coast]] in the east. It stretches from 136°50′W to 127°35′.


Submissions are accepted from any citizen of Westarctica. Restrictions on the mediums represented are generally very relaxed. As this is not a competition, there are no winners, per se. Instead exceptional work is recognized through one of three selection categories.
The coast was discovered by the US [[Antarctica|Antarctic]] Service (1939–41) mapped by the United States Geological Survey from ground surveys and U.S. Navy air photos, 1959–65. The Hobbs Coast was named for Professor William H. Hobbs of the University of Michigan, a glaciologist specializing in polar geography and history.  


In 2018, the Citizen's Selection was chosen via a popular vote through the Citizens of Westarctica Facebook group. This honor was bestowed upon Esther Viola's piece titled "Portrait of Grand Duke Travis and an [[Adélie penguin|Adélie Penguin]]." This piece was used in a 2019 release of [[Stamps of Westarctica|Westarctican stamps]].
