Ivory and Lead Online Art Competition

ABOUT
Ivory and Lead is an online art competition awarding cash prizes to artists working in traditional 2D media. We believe in the value of art creation. That's why paintings, drawings, and sketches are eligible for prizes, including a grand prize of $1000. Contests run bi-monthly (every 2 months) and winners are announced one month following contest-end.
