Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: You can discover your talent by developing it through education and diligent practice. The artist is nothing without the gift and the gift is nothing without the work.
Dont ever let a judge in a contest "judge" your talent only you can do that. Contest should be for showing off your talent, if you want to be in one. Follow your heart not anyones elses.
