Art Texaco

How hard is it to win the Texaco art contest?

I'll be 13 in Febuary and I was wondering how hard is it to win the Texaco art contest? Is there a certain style they like??
I won a few art contests before but my mum doesn't think I'll win.
btw, does anyone know how much enter a year and if they like manga/chibi style??

Thanks in advance

Hmm you sure are going for the big fish...

No they do not prefer a style of art above another. I am a manga artist but to be honest, I honestly dont think you will have a chance to win drawing manga. The reason is, most of these teachers and judges, rarely know a thing about manga, and will just assume it is crappy because big googly eyes and spike-ended hair. I know this because I tried to use manga in art contests, and I made it 4th. Only because of that because between you and me 3rd, 2nd, and 1st werent that good.... But what I mean is, manga would only work in a specific manga contest. There are some but they are hard to find.

Um I think that there is a big number of kids able to participate, but there is problably a limit. So I wouldnt worry about that. Oh and for the future, Manga and chibi's arent the same. Manga is the drawing of the people, scenarion, and other elements, while Chibi's are supposed to be comical, and cute. In a fight, you wont find any chibi's. Likewise, in a comical situation, there will be less drawings of the whole person and more drawings of the chibi's.
