art contest???

Question

I would like to enter a art contest...I have looked on the internet and have found some but I would like to enter my drawing into it do any of you have any ideas of where I could find one

Answer 1

Many local art associations and museums have contests. If this is the first time you have entered a competition, I would look for something local so you can avoid delivery costs to and from.

Also, remember that many competitions require that a piece of art be framed.

If you want to email me your zip code or city/country, I can attempt to locate some for you.

Answer 2

Most art contests are sponsored by non- profit galleries.I live in Maryland and enter art contests all the time. Each county in Maryland has a county art council and they each have either bulletin boards or binders where they have applications to various art contests. If the art council has a website they will also post whatever contests they sponsor. Most contest required an entry fee of 25- 30 dollars and most also give out cash awards. If you live in the US each state has a state art council. You can go their website and see if they have a listing of either art contests or a listing of the county art councils in your state. I would contact my local county art council. I also get the magazine Art Calendar. Art Calendar is a monthly business magazine for artists that has state by state listing of art contests. Check out their website. The art contests are called juried shows and the applications are called Call for Entry. Some contest jury directly from the art work but most juried show require you either send color slides or jpegs. The slides or jpegs must be nicely done. I am on a gallery committee for a county arts council and jury slides on a regular basis. Nicely done means that there is nothing visible in the slide other than the picture itself. No background, frame, mat or time stamp. If an artist does not know enough to have decent slides of their work they often do not know how to get their work properly framed and we often reject them for lack of professionalism.

Answer 3

I would say that i prefer 1 without a doubt the best, number 2 is also very good, but the first has more colour and is clearer, i also like the steps with the people in raincoats, it makes it look like one of those chinese dragons that they have in festivals and stuff. Im not feeling a lot for 3 though sorry. Good luck.
