Ron L. Hubbard didn’t just establish a contest to bring recognition to gifted aspiring writers, but he also established an award that honors students who excel in the arts. Writing may not be your thing, but perhaps drawing is. If so, you may want to consider taking the time to submit to this award.

According to the website, “the Contest is open to new and amateur artists who have not been professionally published and paid for more than three black-and-white story illustrations, or more than one process-color painting, in media distributed broadly to the general public.” Like the Writer’s of the Future Contest, the accepted genres are science-fiction and fantasy.

This contest gives awards four times per year. Each quarter, 3 “co-winners,” receive a cash grant of $500. At the end of each year one of these 12 young artists receives the grand prize: a $5,000 cash grant. Only original works are accepted. Visit the Ron L. Hubbard’s Illustrators of the Future Contests’ website for more details.
