Advice From the Wooster Collective
“the truth is we would never advise any artist - even those we don’t know - to enter 90% of these competitions.
It’s not that we don’t think that winning a big prize isn’t a good opportunity for a young artist.
Many times we do.
It’s because nine times out of ten, the terms and conditions (i.e. “the fine print”) is so onerous and unfair to every single person who enters, that we would never, in good conscious, suggest that people participate.”
