Entries will be judged by professional artists only. Each quarterly judging and the Grand Prize judging may have different panels of judges. The decisions of the judges are entirely their own and are final.
They said in the FAQ:
Q: Are there any restrictions due to age or education level?
A: We welcome entries from all ages and walks of life.
But they said this is for Entries will be judged by professional artists only. Do they mean students (or adults) who are good artists can do the contest. I'm just making sure so please do not judge.
Anyone can enter the contest -- no matter what their age.
However adult professional artists will judge the entries.
Oh ok I misunderstood that.
Thank You!!! :)
You're welcome.
Based on the information provided, it appears that entries for the contest will be judged by professional artists. However, the FAQ states that there are no restrictions due to age or education level, indicating that individuals of all ages and backgrounds are welcome to participate, regardless of their level of artistic experience or training.
In this context, when they mention "professional artists," they may be referring to experienced and skilled artists who typically work in the industry or have a professional background in art. It is possible they are seeking submissions from artists who are more advanced in their artistic abilities, whether they are students or adults.
