Please help me out!

To give context, this past summer I was in my first art show in Chicago for RAW: Natural Born Artists. Raw Artists is an independent artist organization that helps promote unknown talent and local artists; every year they have a contest and provide prizes that will help provide artists of all categories opportunities to further their careers professionally. More information about the contest can be found here: www.rawartists.org/rawards6   Basically, the artists with the most votes in their category from the general public get to move on into semi-finals, where they'll be judged by local judges to determine the finalists, who will be judged nationally to determine a winner for each category.
