How To Enter A Painting Contest And Win

By Richard Roberts


The world is full of all kinds of painters, each one an individual with his or her own interests and goals with what to do with their work. While many people enjoy painting just for the fun of it, plenty of others enjoy entering into a serious painting contest. This can be for a number of reasons including the prestige, exposure, and cash prizes, or just the thrill of competing.

For the up-and-coming artist, nothing is harder than breaking into the scene. Those who are less skilled have a hard time finding a place to show their work, and finding helpful advice from knowledgeable experts. That is something these contests are ideal for.

One of the hardest things for some new artists to do is to select the right piece of artwork for a contest. Many of these less experienced painters are not yet familiar with the massive quantity of artists and submissions that come with almost every competition. To win, the entrant must pick something that will stand out from the rest and not be overlooked because the judge just saw five others just like it.

Since there are so many different forms of art, there are all kinds of competitions that focus on different styles or mediums. Some artists are flexible and like to work in all kinds of different styles. Others who are more particular are better off if they can find an event that focuses on their particular type of art.

Looking of these types of contests online is the very best way for an artist to have a good chance of finding one that is perfect for their level of expertise, locality, and style. It is easy to find all the details on these events by looking them up. It is now easy to find out where these contests are happening and to get a piece sent in.

Some contests are free to enter, making it much more beginner-friendly and casual. These are helpful to invite first-timers to try out the competition because there is nothing to lose. People who are looking to get serious about their paintings and competing are probably looking for a cash prize, and those contests usually require the entrant to pay a fee.

There is always a level of risk involved when entering art into an event like this for the piece to be damaged in some way. Sometimes the paintings in the competition are displayed for the public to come in and see, and sometimes pieces must be shipped in the mail. It is a good idea to look into how much insurance would cost for the artwork.

There are several different categories that the judges of a competition look at to see which entry should be considered the best. It is a good idea to look into what these categories are, as well as talk to former winners of contests if possible. Some of these individuals have posted their tips online, and it is very helpful to see what they painted.
