I have a book of legal forms for artists - and in one of the contracts for a sale there is a part about loaning the painting back to the artist for this purpose. It states one month out of the year for the first 3 years I believe. I tell my clients that it increases the worth of the painting if it wins an award.
I've done this with one portrait, but only had it a couple of weeks. My large Hometown Heroes that was donated to the library had this in the contract, I found a competition in Houston that took them that large. I did not receive my acceptance letter until after the due date - so they apologized and are returning the entry fee - but it would have gone there for a month.
I can scan it and email this contract to you if you'd like.
