#art #competition all competition - $10,000 USD Visual Artists Monetary Awards

Dave Bown Projects
The initiatives of the privately held U.S. company focus on advancing the field of contemporary art by engaging in scholarly research and distributing unrestricted monetary awards to visual artists.

$10,000 USD Visual Artists Monetary Awards Prizes
$10,000 USD (1 artist will receive $5,000 and 5 artists will each receive $1,000).

In addition to the cash prizes listed above; Dave Bown Projects will be buying works of art, on an ongoing basis, from select artists as submissions are received. All styles and media are eligible.

Publication
The top 25 artists will be selected by the jurors and featured under Competitions on this website. Each artist will have their own page that will feature an image, caption information, and a link to their website. You will retain the copyright to your images. We will not handle the sale of your work. All inquiries will be forwarded to you and/or your gallery.

Publicity
Currently the Dave Bown Projects network reaches over 100,000 people who are committed to the visual arts. We will have an announcement sent via email to an aggregation of tens of thousands of subscribers (artists, collectors, curators, galleries, museums, writers). We will have a Share button on each page of this website so that you and everyone else will be able to share content with friends on Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, etc. Each of the artists from the previous competitions receives thousands of views on this website. We will produce a press release (click here to view the previous press release) and organize opportunities for dialogue (e.g., interviews, lectures, screenings).

Note: Gallery owners have contacted artists that are featured under Competitions on this website.

$10,000 USD Visual Artists Monetary Awards Eligibility
This competition is open to all visual artists who are 18 years of age or older. All styles and media are eligible.
During the previous competition, we received submissions from over 35 countries.

Note: Artists that have been exhibited by the jurors are not eligible.

Selection Process
Early entries are encouraged. Previewing will occur on a daily and weekly basis by Dave Bown Projects as submissions are received.

The jurors will only have access to the images of your work and a document that list a reference number, medium, and dimensions per image. We will change the file names of each of your images (e.g., c-4_0123_01.jpg) so that the jurors will not have access to your name, gender, ethnicity, or any other information. The jurors are interested in viewing images of work from emerging artists from all styles and media.

Selection will be based on merit (your skills and abilities, images of your work).
