Each year the DAC sponsors a competition to search out the best in contemporary decorative painting. All entries to this competition must be painted on a surface that has a function separate from its decoration. Any artist may enter. Entries are juried in February of each year, and the judging takes place at the annual SDP Conference. Winners are awarded purchase prizes and become part of the permanent collection of the DAC. Entry forms and criteria may be obtained by sending a request to Jan Vavra, DAC Coordinator, DAC Museum of Decorative Painting, 393 N. McLean Blvd, Wichita, KS 67203, or call (166) 269-9300 ext. 103.
The purchase awards include the Joan Johnson Award of Excellence - $1500, First Place - $1000, Second Place - $600, and Third Place - $400.
