I rarely - okay, never - enter online competitions. But I recently saw this competition from Cheap Joe's Art and thought, well, why not? I don't have to mat and frame the painting, just have to provide a decent jpg and go for it. So I did. I entered the Center Light hydrangea painting I just finished.
The competition ends today - June 1st - then voting begins. You can check out the entries by searching Cheap Joe's Spring Contest. If I understand it, it's not something for online votes from viewers (and friends and family), so it's not just a personality contest for anyone has thousands of "friends" on Facebook because if I'm wrong and it's a "vote for me because you know me and want me to win" I would rather not participate. I hope the art speaks for itself.
I spent some time looking at the entries before the deadline. There are A LOT!!! So many I hope they are winnowed down to a manageable lot. We'll see.
There is one grand winner of a $500 gift certificate from Cheap Joes, and two runners up winners of a $100 gift certificate. So free art supplies from Cheap Joe's! Who wouldn't want that?

So funny Rhonda. I rarely enter online competitions either but just two days ago, I entered the Dick Blick one - Fur and Feathers. It's run the same way with a $400 product prize. You should enter it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Good luck, Rhonda!!!
Thanks, Sadami, Carol, Gary :)
I saw that competition, too, Elizabeth, but for some reason I didn't think of anything to enter...we'll see if I can find something recent.
Thanks Sherry!
Well, the winners were supposed to be announced June 8 and here it is June 15 and still no word. But I haven't gotten an email or phone call, so I guess I'm not one of the finalists...oh well. It was worth a shot!
Beautiful photos Rhonda. I think your little point and shoot pics could rival all those impressive cameras! Thanks for sharing these. Just love the "Painted Lady."
