I know theres a lot of people who loved to do drawings for art contest, but I know a lot of people also don't like drawing for contest, because theres no garentie you'll get something for your hard work in exchange.... what do you guys think about art contest?

      On gaia, I don't really care about them because I lost interest in gold xD
      In real life, I have done two for fun, but I don't expect to win. It's great to meet other people there :3

oh really? how do you find these types of contest in real life? I've never really gone searching for them, but it seems like a fun idea to try as well : 3

      I hear about them from my friends that go to other high schools since I live in a pretty big city (Houston). I also currently work part time with a local gallery, and most of the time they host their own ~

I gave up doing art contests. Far too many times they never announce a winner and just take the art and run. One time I entered one and a friend of there's had offered out prizes to a few of the artists since the host of the contest kind of disappeared without a word. So I just don't do them any more.

@sky:!!!! : O oh you work part time in an art gallery??? that must be fun!!!

@Bananna: wow... really... thats terrible, I've never seen a hit an run contest yet, but I would be angry as well if it ever happened to me... can you report them when they do that? I guess you still won't get paid but still... : ( ouch thats crappy

I've been entering one or two of my drawings at our state fair the past couple years.
But on gaia, I almost never do them since there usually drawing avi art. Im very lazy when it comes to doing avi art.
Ive entered maybe.. one contest that I can think of on here, I lost to a poorly drawn girl in a bikini... (Not to say Im that awesome, but you should have seen the art there. The person who deserved first I dont think even got first)

i dont ever enter them for a few reasons

1) like you said, no guaranteed prizes
2) most the ones i see, even for the grand prize, i make more money in a normal commission.
3) im not too interested in gaia gold anymore
4)most competitions iv seen want furries drawn and i dont do those.

i actually like them sometimes. i might go into a funk where i feel like all my art sucks or i get artists block or whatever... and a friendly contest helps motivate me. i get to see other's art and even if i don't win, drawing or coloring art to participate in something with others is fun to me. : )

of course, that being said... i haven't actually done many. i suppose if i did it a lot more it might get old eventually, idk. : p
