2014 Self Portrait Contest Winners

Over Eleven Hundred Entries in our 2nd Annual Self Portrait Contest

We had a wonderful second year of our Self Portrait Contest which ran from January 6th, 2014-April 6, 2014. This year we were more than happy to receive 1156 completed entries and the majority of them were very, very good. It was incredibly difficult for our panels to choose the best ones, however, with your help voting on Facebook, you helped us choose the best ones. Our panel of professional artists chose the rest. 

The top 3 places win spectacular prizes including:

• First Place Grand Prize: $2000 Shopping Spree on Jerrysartarama.com
• 2nd Place Prize:             $850 eGift Card to Jerry’s Artarama
• 3rd Place Prize:              $400 eGift Card to Jerry’s Artarama
• Honorable Mentions:      $25 eGift Card to Jerry’s Artarama (x30)

Now it’s time to announce the winners. Like I said, we had an incredibly difficult time judging all 60 of our finalists with the top 33 spots winning prizes and as tough as it was, three entries stuck out above the rest. Here are our winners:
