Stats on my art competition applications from the ‘goal-year’ before last: August 2016 through July 2017.*

At the end of July in 2016, I set a goal of applying to 18 competitions. In a modest effort to be strategic, I decided to focus on:

1. Three “major” grants
2. Solo exhibition opportunities
3. Fellowships or residencies in places I wanted to travel to
4. Supportive studio programs with funding

I actually applied to:

1. Two grants = 2/3
2. One exhibition open call = 1/?
3. Two fellowships and six residencies  = 8/?
4. One studio programs = 1/?

For a total of 12 applications out of the goal of 18.

Applications submitted:
GG   E   FF    RRRRRR   S   

Awards received (highlighted in color):

I was awarded two residencies.

Of the 12 entries, my overall success rate was 2/12, or 16%.

I paid $50 for two application fees ($15 and $35 respectively). The other 10 applications were free.
