Are you thinking about entering an art contest but don't know how to increase your chances of winning? In this video, I'll tell you 3 things you can do to win art contests. I've been entering contests for years and have won prizes in almost every one I've entered. Because of this, I've found a few things you can do and that I've done to help you win prizes in art contests and potentially make money doing it!

If you're not sure yet if you want to enter an art contest, then just do it, because the worst that could happen is that you get more practice in your art and then you don't win anything, but you never know what could happen! As I said in the video, if you want me to answer any more questions about contests or to judge a piece you're considering submitting, I'm happy to answer your questions!

Below I've linked a list of art contests you can enter online. Not all of these contests offer prize money, but many of them do, and if you win a prize in one of them, you could potentially earn hundreds of dollars!

I haven't entered all of these competitions, but I've made sure to only include the ones that I know are easy to enter.

Competitions held in the USA only:
• https://www.freedomfestival.org/event/art-contest/ – earn up to 500, grades K-12
• https://westgov.org/celebrate-the-west/ – Earn up to 1200 points, grades 10-12 – this contest is only for students in the western half of the United States. Check out this link if you want to see my 2019 winning entry: https://westgov.org/celebrate-the-west/competition/2019-winners

Canada and USA:
• https://www.celebratingart.com/ – 25 for the top 10 – grades K-12
• https://www.artandwriting.org/what-we-do/the-awards/how-to-enter/ – Grades 7-12

International competitions:
• https://bowseat.org/programs/ocean-awareness-contest/ – attract up to 1,500 participants aged 11 to 18
• https://www.artistsnetwork.com/art-competitions – win up to 2500 – there is a competition for teenagers and one for adults.
• https://www.studentartguide.com/resources/high-school-art-competitions-list – List of 50 other competitions – although not all of them are international

It's also a good idea to enter local competitions as they are generally less competitive and often have good prize money to be won, so I would recommend doing some research into these.
