This portrait of my daughter Maddy received an award of Special Recognition. This art competition had an open theme and was for women artists only. The submission process and competition for the artists began in November 2019 and concluded on December 27, 2019.
The gallery received 1047 entries from 34 different countries from around the world, as well as from 35 different states and the District of Columbia.
The exhibition has been divided into three media categories. Painting & Other Media, Photography & Digital and 3 Dimensional Art categories. In addition, there is an overall Winning Artists Category, which is the “best of the best” and consists of the ten (10) best entries comprised from all the media categories.
The gallery also included Special Merit awards and Special Recognition awards for outstanding art. Many of the artists in either of these groups could have easily been included in the upper tier of our winners, as their art was also exceptional.
