Art Contests for Kids
Art contests for kids offer great life lessons:
* Every contest has guidelines and a deadline, which gives a child a specific goal to work toward.
* The process of creating the artwork itself builds self-confidence, as the child goes from an "I can't draw" mindset to one of "I can enter this contest -- and I might win!"
* The art your child enters should be her best work (it doesn't matter her skill level), teaching her that no matter what she does, she should do it well.
* If she wins, there's the fun of the reward and learning to be a gracious winner.
* If she doesn't win, there's the practice of dealing with disappointment and being a good sport.
* Win or lose, when your child creates a piece of art and enters it in a contest, she has tried, which is the first step to success.
There are opportunities for children to enter art contests, and as I come across them I'll post them here. If you know of a contest that's not listed, please let us know by filling out the form below.
