10. Publicity Just for Entering           Artists often hesitate entering competitions like ACA because  of the uncertainty their work will make it to the final exhibit. ACA is  different. Every artist that enters work will be publicized for a full year by  the host, Art Design Consultants. Your work will be showcased on their website,  blog, and email blasts to over 10,000 contacts.           9. Reach Your TARGET Audience           Our jurors work with private collectors, residential,  hospitality, healthcare and corporate clients. If you feel your artwork falls  into a certain "niche," ACA has got it covered.           8. Category Awards           There is nothing comparable to the pride you feel when  you are awarded the artist of the year in your medium or subject. The check in  your name doesn’t hurt either.           7. Networking           This is an amazing opportunity to meet the most prestigious  names in the art business. Not only are our jurors and sponsors looking forward  to meeting you, they want to see & sell your work! Building mutually  beneficial relationships can make a long lasting impact on your career.           6. Purchase Awards           ACA’s sponsorships are money put toward buying the work  showcased in the final exhibit. Sponsors = guaranteed sales! 5. Special Awards           Unique awards are often the best awards to receive. Want  a solo booth at ArtExpo New York? Want to be showcased in Art Business News  & Venue Magazine? Yeah, we thought so.           4. Awards of Honor           Lifetime Achievement, Emerging Artist of the Year, Best  of Show and Runner Up are the highest honor to recieve as an artist. Isn’t it  time you were recognized for your hardwork & talent?           3. Gallery Contracts           This year we are awarding 14 gallery contract awards with  galleries from all over the country. These awards can help kick-start or expand  your career as an artist. A gallery contract lasts beyond the closing of the  exhibition, giving you the chance to sell your work and grow as an artist.           2. You Can Win Multiple Awards           When you enter, you don’t have to specify what awards you  are interested in winning. We don’t like to allow artists to pigeon hole  themselves. ACA artists can win multiple awards! Want to win a purchase award,  category award, AND a gallery contract. You just may. ACA makes that possible!           And the number one reason artists should enter Art Comes  Alive 2013 is...           1. Sales           The ultimate goal for any artist is to sell their work.  Through this competition- and a combination of the jurors, sponsors, exhibit,  awards, and publicity -this is your chance to get your artwork seen! Give  people the opportunity to discover your talent by getting your artwork ‘out  there’ & noticed through the help of ACA. It only takes one person falling  in love with your work to find your art a home.           ENTER AT www.adcfineart.com
