ATTENTION YOUNG ARTISTS (young seriously) do not participate in competitions Italians more" cool "if you have the following requirements: a career already started at the back and then one or more galleries, a critic or editor that support your candidacy, or supporters within the jury or the promoters of the competition.
Who has the above requirements is intended to dial the number of participants to show off as a showpiece, numbers that are used to justify the funding received for the realization of the competition. [Prize winner / s, parcel of the organizers, the compensation for jurors, development cost, etc.. etc.].
for the "Mirrors for Larks'
Example 1:
DE.MO / MOVIN'UP: contest that promises coveted young Italian resident abroad for between 18 and 35 years working with professional goals and who have been officially invited or accepted abroad.
One may ask: "Why so large a band that includes teens and twenties with zero chance of having a suitable curriculum?"
What need is there to hold contests when it is clear that most of the winners for the visual arts are filtered by Viafarini to Milan to Turin or Gai? They sound like names reported by the dome!
Since these winning artists have curriculum and support of well known Italian galleries, which they need to participate in competitions to participate "in qualified training programs, get real accolades foreign institutions or international experience to taking advantage of public money? They could not go with the "good earnings" of the sale of their works? There should already be trained? One would think that there are on the list of contests but not in the market.

The first post on the blog of NIT-PICK is a critical synthesis that touches on the Italian competition for artists aged 18 to 35 years . Reality features of the last 15 years or so potential opportunities for young people not only in economic terms, that in Italy (in art as in other areas) are subject to manipulation by those who govern the system, for the benefit of themselves and of their intent to produce creative objects "artistic" easily sold or conform to current fashion.
probably as said in the post will be known to most people, especially the young larks, which have been selections of the competitions that will be used from time to time, participate in the illusion of a real-honest-and artistic opportunities.
We want to emphasize, however, several times-in-one that is far too long a widespread malpractice, causing tangible harm to the dignity of contemporary art Italian and the future of younger generations will grow increasingly confronted with ignorance and ignorant players in the system that endorse suicide conformism. It will be argued in a critical way, sometimes attacking (avoiding highly sterile polemics) and proposing possible solutions to the issues covered. This problem applies to all (artists, critics, curators, collectors, institutions, professionals of every age and sector) because they treat all competitions as they were real opportunities for young, growing and through which to form their own identity, deal with public galleries and institutions.
is not so and we intend to deepen why ...
Not so especially when they advertise contests cash prizes or sought opportunities abroad. In other cases it is limited claims to have disproportionate to the rewards offered, the quality of the competition and guarantees in case of exhibitions.
does not make sense to avoid these assessments and it is hoped that many would like to participate with comments and thoughts on what is unacceptable is perpetuated for too much time in this country, which expired in its overt intellectual weakness and insecurity. We are looking for feedback, hope you feel the soft, jelly-like actions that permeates our times.
