It has been a while since this community has done a painting competition. I’d like to do another one, and get community input.

Right now, I am thinking of making it a single figure contest, no size rules, with submission and judging sometime in late September.

I’ve previously done trophies and small prizes, but since those are out of pocket costs for me, I’ve put myself in a corner with excessive shipping costs in the past, so I’m going to make the prize either much smaller or just make a digital record of the winner. I do want to encourage community participation and collaboration, and it is my hope that a painting competition can bring out some excitement that will create that among community members.

I’ll leave this post up for a while, looking for interest levels and any suggestion for competition guidelines. More to come after.
