Guidelines for Art Competitions - The Graphic Artist Guild. Entering contests has always been a bit of a crapshoot (who knows whether the effort alone is worth the small chance of winning); however, some contests are so clearly unethical or disadvantaged to the artist that the community needs to know they should skip it. In 1980, the Graphic Artists Guild, together with Designers Saturday (DS), a furniture manufacturers association, developed a competition to meet two goals: produce high-quality art for the DS annual show and provide an ethical competition appropriate for professional artists.

This experiment was so successful that the Guild decided to encourage other contests to meet the same criteria. The Graphic Artists Guild Foundation, with a supporting grant from the National Endowment for the Arts, conducted a nationwide survey of art and design competition holders, as well as an informal poll of jurors and competition entrants.

..., Palette/Color tutorial by neonnoodle. Color Combinations, Monochromatic, Complementary, Analogous, Triad. Color Worqx Color combinations may pass unnoticed when pleasing, yet offend dramatically when compositions seem to clash. One outcome we seek in the final form or composition, is a successful use of color. We determine whether or not we are successful by critically assessing the visual balance and harmony of the final composition—balance and harmony are achieved by the visual contrast that exists between color combinations. Planning a successful color combination begins with the investigation, and understanding, of color relationships. Using a color wheel and a template, the relationships between colors are easy to identify.

Monochromatic Relationship Colors that are shade or tint variations of the same hue. Complementary Relationship Those colors across from each other on a color wheel. Split-Complementary Relationship One hue plus two others equally spaced from its complement. Analogous Relationship Those colors located adjacent to each other on a color wheel.
