What Makes A Painting Contest Winner

By Richard Roberts


The types of people who would call themselves painters varies as widely as the art itself. There are some who like to paint quietly at home, maybe with a glass of wine and some light music, and many people who do it primarily for the relaxing effect it has on them and the therapeutic effects on their body. Others enjoy finding a good painting contest to enter their work in.

Entering in contests is a great way for an artist to build up his or her skill level. It can be very intimidating to not only paint something very personally revealing but then to show it to the public and subject it to their opinions. Starting out by entering pieces into these types of events not only builds confidence but provides opportunities to hear constructive criticism from adjudicators.

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.

It is very important for an entrant to make sure he or she knows what kind of an art competition they are entering in. If there is a specific category of subject material or required materials, those are important details to know before choosing a piece to enter. Newer artists do best when they pick a competition that is in a style that they are familiar and comfortable with.

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.

For those who are looking to win some money from their art entry, there is a wealth of opportunities with these kinds of contests. By checking a particular event's details either online or by calling the organization putting it on, it's easy to find out if there is any money involved for the winner. These types of competitions will usually require an entry fee.

Plenty of people are too nervous to subject their precious art to a competition because they are worried that something unexpected will happen to it somewhere along the way. This is especially a risk for pieces that are shipped long distances. Sometimes it is a good idea to look into how much it costs to insure the piece because that can take a lot of weight off the artist's mind.

No one is better informed on how to get the attention of the judges (besides perhaps the judges themselves) than the previous winners of art competitions. Some of these past winners have posted their advice online as to how to enter a piece that stands out. It is helpful to look up who has won the contest in the past and see what their piece looked like.
