Ocala Outdoor Sculpture Competition

Selected artists will receive a $4,000 honorarium to help offset transportation and installation costs. An awards jury will select Best in Show ($2,000), Second Place ($1,000), and Honorable Mention ($500). Attendees of the event will also vote for their favorite work and grant the People’s Choice Award ($1,000).
