Competition Information
Fifteen finalists will be selected, including: (6) student artist finalists, (6) professional artist finalists, (1) student winner, (1) professional winner, and (1) grand prize winner. The grand prize winner (the overall top applicant) can come from either category.
The Grand Prize Winner will receive $1500.00
The Professional Winner will receive $500.00
The Student Winner will receive $350.00
****Applicants may apply as a group, however one group, as far as the application and judging process is concerned, will only represent a single submission. So, for example, if a student group is chosen as the grand prize winner, that group will receive $1500 to be split amongst the group members.
