Welcome to the PMS Artwork Artist Competitions Submission Page
I am a professional full-time artist and painter myself and have been working in Los Angeles and the art world for the last 18 years. Over the years, I have made some wonderful contacts and been part of some pretty amazing artistic opportunities. I thought that it would be a great idea to work with other artists by developing some Art Competitions with Cash Prizes, Certificates, and Gallery Exhibition Opportunities based on some of these experiences and contacts. Unlike most art competitions, this is run with an artist's mindset and I promise to keep you (us), the artist in mind with everything I do and strive to offer down the road.
Through these competitions, artists will be competing to win Cash Prizes and Award Certificates as well participating in Gallery Exhibitions, sometimes together and sometimes separately. Winners' work and personal website link will also be displayed on the Past Competition Winners page for them to link to and reference. With every competition that you submit to, you will automatically be entered into a pool of artists to keep in mind for future exhibition opportunities. I am thrilled to be currently working and partnering with the infamous ShockBoxx Gallery in Hermosa Beach for the current and future competitions/gallery exhibition opportunities.
