About the Fine Art America TV Contest and the Finalists

  This contest was quite a ride! A group of Artists had pulled together a long with each one of their own friends, fans and family. Last minute count down put everyone in a frenzy and most of us thinking we would need a complete miracle to ever reach 250 public votes. I myself had just entered this contest only a month prior to the end, and some entered only days and weeks before. The last week, I promoted like I have never promoted before, learning a lot as well from my new found FAA friends.  I want to share a link to a blog that was created telling our story of this really quite overwhelming journey. This blog entry created by one of our fellow contestants Lorraine Devone Wilke - http://rockpapermusic.com/contests-chaos-camaraderie-microcosm-of-life/ . This blog features all of our facebook fan pages and our artists profiles and websites.

  The stats for this contest were quite astounding! Over 5,000 artists from FAA entered into this contest and over 14,000 images submitted ( as were all allowed to have 3 images) . Out of all those images submitted, only 151 images made it 250 vote count moving them into the second round where there will be a panel of judges to establish which 5 images will represent the new FAA  tv commercial.

  This first round obviously was not just about getting votes, but about your marketing skills ability, and without this group collectively helping each other with ideas on promotion, I never would have been able to get my 150 outside of FAA votes. There are truly many wonderful artists here at FAA not only in their artistic abilities but in heart as well.

   So let's get to it!!!!! THE 151 FINAL IMAGES THAT WILL BE JUDGED CAN BE SEEN HERE
