I'll start this thread to ask who else is a prize winner at the Ninth Annual Art of the Portrait International Portrait Commpetition, of the Portrait Society of America, for 2007? I understand there are 11 Fnalists, 4 Exceptional Merits, and 16 Certificates of Excellence. That sounds like a total of 31 winners out of a record field of more than 1,300 entries this year.
I received a Certificate of Excellence for my portrait sculpture bust of "Gia". It seems unusual to get a prize for a sculpture instead of a painting, so I am pleased to report something different.
Here is a link to the thread of the unveiling of "Gia".
I am happy to relate and understand congratulations are in order to Alex Tyng for also winning a Certificate of Excellence! She will have to tell us which portrait entry won, of hers.
Who else? Did any here get the bigger awards? Some are only finding out their competition status today.
