Miami, Florida (PRWEB) December 11, 2014 -- The Penguin Hotel, located on the famous, sun-soaked Ocean Drive on South Beach, has always attracted snowbirds and beach babes, and now artists are flocking to the boutique hotel. Since launching The Big Picture, Interiors at The Penguin Hotel, a juried art contest open to artists of all skill levels, the hotel has offered a 10% discount on hotel stays for artists plus a $10 bar credit for those who enter the contest. The contest, which ends on January 30, 2015, seeks to find new images for the canvas wall in each of the hotel rooms. Winners receive $500 plus a two-night hotel stay.
