Helpful guidance

How to Choose a Drawing, Painting or Art Competition

Start with the artwork type and entry requirements. Check the official deadline and time zone, originality rules, age eligibility, entry fee, prizes, copyright terms, file format and submission method. For children, review whether a parent, guardian or school must submit the entry.

Free Entry, Online Submissions and International Eligibility

A free competition may still charge optional fees for additional categories. Online submission does not necessarily mean the entire event is remote. International participation can depend on residency, citizenship or age. Confirm these details directly with the organizer.
