How To Enter A Painting Contest And Win

By Richard Roberts


There are so many reasons why so many different kinds of people love to paint. Many people just do it for the joy of creating something beautiful, or because it relaxes them and helps with their fine motor skills. However, others who are more serious painters enjoy taking their best pieces to a painting contest to see just how well they do against the others and maybe even win a prize.

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.

It is important to realize that in most contests, a huge number of entries are made. This makes it difficult for any given piece to stand out from the rest. A good way to approach these types of large competitions is by trying to select an art piece that would differentiate itself from the rest, and by trying to stay away from the most stereotypical images that many other artists may have in their paintings.

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.

Nowadays there are plenty of resources available to find out exactly where these types of events are happening and when. Since they take place all around the world, the Internet is a great tool to find plenty of resources. There are a number of networks that help promote competitions and get the information out to people.

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.

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.

While only the judges themselves truly know what they are looking for when they determine the winners of a competition, those who have won contests in the past can have some quite insightful knowledge. Many of these individuals have shared their secret with everyone online. It can also be very helpful to take a look at what they painted for those entries.
