Spring is right around the corner!

And I would like to start the season with two new contests! Do we have any artists out there?

The ABEA's first official contests mark the beginning of new products.

The prize to the winner or winners will be a free item of their choice showcasing their work, recognition posted on our website, & a percentage discount for all registrations submitted by them in 2010!
