Dear Tim,
You have to read everything carefully in the prospectuses, but the finalists would always be notified in advance of the event, so that they could send the paintings. If you are a finalist, though, you usually are required to be registered and in attendance in order to win.
The financial difficulty comes in when the finalists are not notified until after the registration refund or cancellation deadline has already passed.
I am sure you will love the PSA event. I also think you should try to attend all that you can, as the speakers are likely to be energizing and inspirational, and you will meet some wonderful painters.
It would be great to hear of past finalists' experiences, to know whether and how their work and/or careers have been affected by winning these competitions.
Good luck!
Chris
