On March 31 of this year, I decided to enter a rather prestigious American art competition sponsored by ‘The Artist’s Magazine’, a widely circulated and respected US publication.
One of the pictures I entered was “Barton”, below.
Last week I received the following notification!
“Dear Bill,
Congratulations! Your artwork, Barton, has been selected as a finalist in the Landscape category of The Artist’s Magazine 31st Annual Art Competition. Your name, city, state and/or country will appear among the lists of finalists published in the December 2014 issue.
The competition’s entries, over 7,500, were particularly strong this year. As editors, we had a difficult task to whittle the field; it is truly an achievement that your work was among the ones we sent to the jurors.
Thank you very much for entering our contest and sharing your fine work with us.
Congratulations again!
Sincerely,
Maureen Bloomfield, Editor”
