Serious About Your Art?

Seriously consider entering the International Portrait Competition. It's $40 for 3 samples of your work - there is a catch: you must register for the conference if you are selected as a finalists (only 15 finalists will be selected) the fee for the conference is $395 for members/$455 for non-members and all finalists must bring their original work to win a top prize. Plus you have to pay for your hotel and food. The good thing is that you get to attend workshops offered by the worlds best portraits artists.

We may be able to do fund raisers to help finance one (or more of us) to go to conference if selected as finalists - this has to be looked into.

Here is the entry form: http://portraitsociety.org/conference/pdfs/competitionentry.pdf

All work has to be somewhat Realistic and done independently, e.g. not in a classroom or under the direction of an instructor. You must never have won an award in any previous competition (it is not specific if it means one of their comps or any comp).

The best part of the competition is that work can be 2D and 3D (sculpture). Check out the website of past winners: http://portraitsociety.org/conferencespast/2009/winners.htm
