The 13th Annual PleinAir Salon Art Competition is a monthly online competition consisting of 19 categories. We award $50,000 annually. Each of the 23 monthly winners are automatically included in the Annual Competition in the spring. The Annual Grand Prize winner receives $15,000 and is featured on the cover of PleinAir Magazine. We award an additional $9,200 to the annual winners and award $2,150 monthly. The annual awards are presented live at the Plein Air Convention & Expo each spring.
Because this competition is created by PleinAir magazine, which features not only plein air paintings, but also studio paintings, all types of paintings are eligible and do not need to have been completed in plein air. As we know, many studio paintings start with plein air sketches, and many plein air painters paint figures and still life. Our interest is in rewarding great paintings.
