Events

Here is a collection of painting competitions and events from around the United States (and online).  There are many more around the world, but I am focusing on the US as those are the ones I'm most familiar with.  The events vary in size and level of competition, but several (Crystal Brush, MFCA Show, and MMSI Show) bring in people from all over the world.

In addition to the shows listed below, there are also a large number of IPMS USA Shows/Events.  Those groups tend to focus on vehicle modeling, but often have figure categories as well.
