The Winter 2027 Editorial Cover Selection recognizes a single work that will serve as the cover for an upcoming 'Vintage' issue of the Pennsylvania Journal of Arts and Sciences.

Works are considered for their ability to function as a strong, self-contained image, with particular attention to composition, clarity, and visual presence. The selection process prioritizes work that holds impact both at full scale and in reproduction, maintaining integrity across formats.

The chosen artist is featured prominently on the issue’s cover and included in accompanying editorial materials; this includes but is not limited to spotlight interviews, prominent social media promotion, and a feature in the magazine newsletter. Finalists are selected for publication within the issue.
