The RayMar Art 4th Annual Fine Art
Competition is underway, beginning August 1st, 2009 through
July 31, 2010. What began as an unusual contest idea in 2005 has
evolved into a premier ongoing competition well received in the art
community. The contest is RayMar Art's means of recognizing exceptional
artwork and rewarding artists with substantial cash prizes.
Each month of the competition, a
professional artist juror selects and critiques 12 finalist paintings
from the monthly entries. These finalists are posted by the 15th
of the following month. At the end of the 12 months of the competition,
a final artist judge chooses the 12 award winners from these 144 monthly
finalists. The competition cash awards are:
1st Prize -
$10,000
2nd Prize -
$5,000
3rd Prize -
$2,500
4-12th Prize
- $1,000
The 12 finalists for each month and
final award winners will appear in the Fine Art Studio Online's
Newsletter. This newsletter is emailed to an extensive database of art
collectors. Throughout the duration of the contest, monthly finalists'
names and websites are displayed on RayMar Art's site so collectors may
contact you directly. Previous years' winners also remain on our site
for continued recognition.
We wish to thank every artist who
participates in and supports RayMar Art's competitions. With your help
RayMar Art enjoys its ultimate mission -- to manufacture professional
painting panels, inspire the development of artistic talent and help
artists achieve personal success through recognition of their work.
