RAW Awards

     A few months ago a lady sought me out from an organization called RAW. She found my work via Etsy and said she'd like me to be part of their showcase. RAW is a non profit organization designed to promoted and expose undiscovered artists who they believe have talent and potential. AfterI got over my skepticism thinking it was far too good to be true I participated in the showcase and since then it has opened doors. Due to the chance I took I have since then taken part in opportunities to show at the Spirit Festival and The Colour Show at the Undiscovered Gallery. So to say the least I am thankful. Now another opportunity has arose but I need your help.

The Button Will Look Like This

     Every year RAW host this thing called RAW Awards where they award the Best RAW artist in each of their categories, (Film, Visual Art, Fashion, Music, Hairstylist, Makeup, Performance, Accessories, Photography). First it starts on the local level of course and gets narrowed down from there. The winners of each level not only get recognition and promotion but prizes at higher levels. The title and exposure is simply enough. Like I said though I need your help because these individuals are chosen based on votes. The voting period is from October 1st-October 15th. Follow this link, ( http://www.rawartists.org/ardentprints ) to my profile. As of October 1st there will be a RAW Awards button to click and vote. It will ask for your email just to keep track of votes, they promise not to bug you.  You can vote EVERY day during the voting period, so please do.  The goal: get votes and send me to the semi-finals!

As I said before I would love to move on to the semi finals and you can make that possible. Thank you all for your support throughout the years. Wish me luck & fingers crossed!
