History of the Texas Annual For those not familiar with the evolution of this exhibition , it is worth repeating the following facts. In 1940 the directors of the museums in Houston, San Antonio and Dallas organized a painting and sculpture competition open to all artists of the state. The original plan of the three originating museums was that in alternating order one of them would collect the entries, hold the judging, exhibit the show and then circulate it to the other two. All three would contribute prizes and share costs. Other agencies in Fort Worth, Austin, Beaumont and Lubbock have exhibited the show at different times . At first, Texas General was chosen for the name of the exhibit because prints, drawings, and ceramics were included. By the time of the eleventh consecutive competition in the season of 1949-50, these categories were withdrawn since special competitions for each had come into existence. That year the exhibition was called the Texas Painting and Sculpture Annual and this name has continued. The State Fair re-entered the scene in 1952 by promising a Purchase Prize Fund of $1 ,000 yearly and the exhibition became a feature at DMFA during the Fair. Since then DMFA has organized the exhibition and shown it first with continued help from San Antonio and Houston in the form of prizes, shared circulation cost and exhibition. The first of the annuals in 1940 had seven prizes totaling $350, not inconsiderable reward then. This year prizes for the 23rd competition amounted to $4 ,000 of which $3,300 is money for five purchases for the perman ent collections of the sponsoring and exhibiting museums. Because of the steadily increasing number of artists submitting to this exhibit in past years, it has been necessary to limit the number of entries to one per artist. Even so, 518 entries were submitted to the 1961 exhibit by artists in 72 Texas towns. The jury accepted 85 works.
