How to Hold Art Competitions
Holding and hosting an art competition takes much effort, but can be accomplished by competing several steps. First you must first choose a sponsor(s) to invest in the prizes and event expenses. You must then circulate information regarding your art competition, invite and confirm artists to participate in your competition, invite and confirm judges to select art to award prizes to, and find a venue to display art. Beyond the above steps, you must also choose a theme for your art competition, outline rules that artists must follow and invite people to view the art on display.
