SCAA features an elite Masters Division. To qualify for this division, an artist must accumulate a specific number of points by winning 1st, 2nd, or 3rd place ribbons in standard categories during past Art Classic competitions. A Prestige Tier
Once you achieve "Master" status, you compete exclusively against other Masters, opening up standard categories for our rising and intermediate artists to win ribbons and build their own points! |
