Our theme for the August Art Competition was “Seasons”. The submission process and competition for the artists began in the middle of July and ended on August 29, 2011. We received 394 entries from 13 different countries from around the world, including the United Kingdom, France, Canada, Poland, Croatia, Russia, Australia, Indonesia, Taiwan, Hungary, Romania, Greece and Denmark. In addition, we had entries from 21 different states. We received a broad selection of media including, watercolors, oils, acrylics, collage, digital art, fabric, photography, mixed media, ink, charcoal and pencils. Overall, we tried to include these different media and styles. We believe that the show is representative of this as well.
Due to the volume and the quality of the entries received this month we also included 55 artists who were chosen for Special Recognition. The artists in this group could have easily been included in the upper tier of our winners, as their art is exceptional. In addition, most of the artists who were not chosen could have easily received Special Recognition awards, as their art was also outstanding. We hope that you will take the time to also enjoy their beautiful art work too.
