Dear Readers of The Artist's Magazine:
After more than twenty years of writing about art and editing art magazines, I know that good art isn't confined to big cities on either coast; in fact, there are great artists, some working in obscurity or near obscurity, all around the world. What's difficult for artists is having their work be seen; that's the reason I can say unequivocally that entering The Artist's Magazine's Annual Art Competition is worth the effort, expense, and time.
Why?
- You show your work to the editors of the top magazine for working artists.
- You show your work to our distinguished jurors: Daniel E. Greene (portrait/figure), Sadie Valeri (still life), Stephen Quiller (landscape), Betsy Dillard Stroud (abstract), and John Seerey-Lester (wildlife/animal)
- If you win a prize, you show your work to our 75,000+ readers, for all winning pictures will be showcased in the December 2015 issue (and finalists' names will be listed, as well.
- Opportunities open up for you, even if your work doesn't win a top prize. For last year's December cover, we turned to a picture that was a finalist in the Portrait/Figure category: Ardith Starostka's Wallflower, a portrait of her daughter.
Some of the artists we discovered through our annual art competition: Katie O'Hagan, Jeffrey T. Larson, Dean Mitchell, Sally Cooper, Nicholas Raynolds, Candice Bohannon, Julio Reyes, Terry Strickland, Pauline Roche, and many more.
And from those finalists (the images we send to the judges), we select 12 artists whose works and stories will appear online (and be archived online) in Artist of the Month. We also choose 9 finalists' works to be showcased in Competition Spotlight, which appears as the final page in every issue of The Artist's Magazine.
In short, the benefits go on and accrue. Show us your work. Take advantage of the Early-Bird deadline, which is April 1.
