LAST CHANCE for July
I just wanted to post a short reminder that today is the last day of the $2 Art Contest for July. We’ve had enough entries so far to make the July contest interesting, but I haven’t reviewed ANY of the work yet. If you get to this post after the deadline, don’t worry…there’s always August.
If you want to read the reasoning behind the monthly $2 Art Contest, visit the page. But remember…if you want to be considered for the July Featured Artist, the deadline is July 31st at midnight EST. If you miss the deadline, don’t worry…you’ll be automatically entered in the August contest.
You can’t buy your way onto ArtAndArtDeadlines.com, but here are the tangible benefits to you for your $2 if you are chosen for a feature post.
Benefits of Entering the $2 Art Contest:
- The distinct honor of being a FEATURED ARTIST of the MONTH on ArtAndArtDeadlines.com . 🙂
- A permanent inbound link from the post to multiple pages on your website (if you have one) from this site which has a Google Page Rank of 4 (as of 07/01/2010) which helps your website’s visibility on the web.
- Additional permanent inbound links from a new Featured Artist page to your website (if you have one) from this site which has a Google Page Rank of 4 (as of 07/01/2010) which helps your website’s visibility on the web.
- A 300×300 pixel ad (created by me) for occasional use in other blog posts throughout the month in which you are featured (and beyond–at my discretion)
I hope you agree…It could be the best $2 you ever spend.
Why $2? I’m not trying to get rich off the artwork of my readers by producing ArtAndArtDeadlines.com, but it would be nice to pay the hosting fees and software occasionally. $2 is a ridiculously low fee FOR ANYTHING. You see a benefit, and ArtAndArtDeadlines.com gets to promote great art and great artists. Simple.
The $2 Art Contest Guidelines are easy:
FEE: Send $2 to submitart@artandartdeadlines.com via PayPal.com and record the transaction # when you’re finished. Don’t worry…it is part of the confirmation email they send you.
SUBMISSION: Email me the PayPal transaction #, a handful of pics, a bio and whatever you think I need to form an accurate opinion of your work. If all of the information I need is on your website, just send me the link to the site. There are no restrictions…You can win EVERY month, so just keep entering.
DEADLINE: The deadline is the last day of each month. The artist chosen will be notified by the 7th of each month, and the FEATURED ARTIST of the MONTH blog will be posted by the 15th of each month.
DISCLAIMERS: ArtAndArtDeadlines.com reserves the right to publish work of artists whose work we love–entry fee or not; however, a winner will be chosen each month from paid entries. Additional posts are at my discretion. P.S. Don’t expect to get a ribbon in the mail.
The permanent $2 Art Contest Page is accessible through the top and side navigation areas so that you can find it again and again.
Email me if you have any questions.
