What Makes A Painting Contest Winner

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.

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.

There are some types of artists who can do it all, while others need to stick to what they're good at. It's important for an artist to find a competition that suits his or her abilities. That way, the artist can play to his or her strengths.

There are so many more opportunities for artists looking to get involves in these types of events now than there ever were before with the help of online resources. It is now possible to find out what kind of competitions are being held all over the world. Submissions can then be mailed in from wherever the artist lives.

It is always nice when the prize winner is compensated in some way with a cash prize. While paintings take many hours of tireless work as well as money for supplies, it can be hard to keep at it without some kind of monetary compensation. These types of contests usually come with a fee to help pay for the prize, but it is a small price to pay for a big payoff.

It can be very scary to put a painting into a contest because of the risk that it might be damaged or hurt in some way. Many painters feel that their work is a part of them, almost like their children, and it can be hard to send it away. Getting insurance on an art piece can help give the painter peace of mind.

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.
