ArtFido North American Artist Showcase Winner!

If you follow me on Instagram, Twitter, or Facebook you know that I entered an art contest a few months ago and I've been asking everyone to help me out by voting for me. I wasn't expecting to get the most votes but I was surprised by how many people helped out by voting. I got so much support from my family, my friends, and even strangers online. I got almost 3,000 votes in the end, and even though I didn't get the most votes, it felt great that so many people would go out of their way to vote for me. The voting ended in the second week of March and after that I kind of forgot about it.

Today I was going through my emails and I opened one up from ArtFido. They notified me that I was one of the winners for the North American Artist Showcase and I would be receiving a $1000 grant. There were about 17,000 entries in the showcase. Out of those 17,000 entries 5 people received artist grants. Only 1 person received a $1000 grant. That one person was me. I couldn't believe it and I still can't believe it. 




This is the second contest I've won using the drawing I did of my dad. It's amazing that I've gotten so much positive feedback and people have liked it enough to give me prizes for it.


All I can really say is thank you to everyone who voted for me and has supported me through everything. It's amazing to know that I won the only $1000 grant out of 17,000 people and it was made possible by everyone who cared enough to get online and vote for me. I really appreciate it.
