Today, I lost an art contest to some talentless arsepipe whose piece was literally just a broken heart crudely drawn in her own blood. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I turned in my best painting yet for a scholarship competition. For once in my life, I was actually proud of a piece I'd done. I ended up losing the scholarship to some dickface who'd basically just glued together some crap from the dollar store and called it conceptual art. FML
Today, after submitting a 500-word essay to a writing contest, I found out that I lost to someone who wrote 3 sentences. FML
Today, one of my paintings was accepted into a local art gallery. It would've been a dream come true, had my "best friend" not submitted it under her own name and taken all the credit. FML
Today, while sitting on a bench drawing, some guy went up to me, yelled, “YOUR ART SUCKS” and flipped my sketchpad out of my hands. I’d been working on that piece for hours and now there’s a big black pencil streak on it. FML
Today, I was looking through an old box of personal artwork when I realised the entire box was damp. This was all my own art from the past 3 years, smudged and smelling of cat urine. I was supposed to showcase some of it in a competition winning gallery this month. FML
Today, my girlfriend dumped me for the tattoo artist who gave us our matching "love" tattoos. FML
Today, I found out that my art project, the one I've been working on for the last two weeks and the first piece I felt really comfortable about turning in, was stolen out of the art cupboard. FML
Today, I finished a big art project. It was a self-portrait done in acrylics. Proud of my piece, I showed my mom. After some thought her first comment was, "well, I'm either going to insult your art or your face." FML
Today, my mother yelled at me for not doing all of my homework. She got so mad, she tore up a drawing I'd spent over a week working on. That was my art homework. FML
Today, my ex won a writing competition. His story was inspired by our relationship. In it, I'm a serial killing prostitute. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Sounds like she put more heart into her work

Well the judges must have thought it was bloody fantastic. Don't get so heart broken over it.

What exactly does OP's attractiveness have to do with anything? Aside from that, I'd say she has a point. Hell, if I put time and effort into building up my skills and then painting a piece for a competition, only to lose to a far shittier picture for no other reason than some stupid gimmick like the artist used her own blood instead of red paint like a normal person, I'd be a tad miffed as well.

I heard of someone who painted a white piece of paper white, in a project about death and got an A*

That is actually pretty creative symbolically. Painting a blank piece of paper and handing in a piece of blank paper are vastly different. Art does not equal the amount of things you can slap on a visible plane. If you have a lot of content but you're not saying anything, that is more of a failure in my opinion.

There is a piece of art at the Art Institute of Chicago that is a red plank leaning against the wall of the museum. It is called "Red Plank".

Don't worry, she probably sold her soul to Satan to win that contest. Keep practicing, be nice and go to church and God will help you beat Satan on the next one.

That does it. Forget all those art classes I took as I was growing up. Forget about my love for growing up with Bob Ross and his happy trees… From now on, my inspiration will be "what's the dumbest thing I can put onto canvas". I should make millions!

I was so excited when I saw Bon Ross on Netflix!

You can't always win, just don't give up and keep on trying.
