- All entry fees are non-refundable and must be paid via credit or debit card prior to entering.
- Any purchased credits will need to be used during the same monthly competition in which they were purchased. Unused credits will not roll over to the next competition.
- See also “Why Are Entry Fees Required” in our FAQ.
ENTRY DETAILS:
- 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 plein air painters finish paintings in the studio or also work in entirely different subject matter. Our interest is in rewarding great paintings.
- All entries must be original compositions and cannot be based on anything that has been published elsewhere. Copies of other artists’ work are NOT considered original and are not eligible. Paintings based on another person’s photograph (even if copyright-free) are NOT eligible. All entries must be 100% painted by the artist entering and cannot have been painted partially by an instructor.
- Paintings from photographs that the artist took for reference are eligible.
- Photography, computer-generated, printed or painted over photographs are PROHIBITED. The PleinAir Salon reserves the right to refuse any artwork if the method with which is was created is questionable.
- Entries do not need to be new or fresh. Older paintings accepted.
- There is no limit to the number of images you can enter in each monthly competition. Because there are multiple categories you might increase your odds by entering multiple categories.
- An image, which has not previously won in a category can be re-entered in subsequent competitions as many times as you wish, until it wins a category. Note: All category winners are included in the judging for the Grand Prize, so there is no need to enter a winning painting multiple times.
- Images can be entered in multiple categories. Please note that if you enter the same image in multiple categories, that image can be selected as a winner of only one category.
- Grand Prize winners are not eligible to win the Grand Prize again within 12 months of winning.
- When first entering the PleinAir Salon Art Competition, you’ll be asked to create a profile on ArtCall.org. If you do not have an artist account at ArtCall.org, click here. This takes just a few minutes, and then you can upload quality images of your paintings and select the categories you wish to enter.
- PleinAir magazine reserves the right to reject or not display any image that it feels is inappropriate or distasteful, if the image’s resolution quality is poor, if we believe the image is a copy of another painting, or it does not meet the above criteria.
- Employees or associates of Streamline Publishing, Inc., or their immediate families may not enter.
IMAGE DETAILS:
- Before uploading your images, make sure they are smaller than 4MB, but at least 1920 pixels on the longest side at 72 dpi. Images should be in JPEG format, sRGB color space. Help in photographing your work can be found HERE.Help resizing your painting can be found HERE.
- Please review our extensive FAQ for additional questions. If you still need additional assistance you can contact us HERE.
- Please add pleinairsalon@streamlinepublishing.comto your safe senders list to ensure notifications are received.
JUDGING:
- After the close of each monthly competition, an invited guest judge (top museum or gallery professional or master artist) selects the best paintings from each category based on a blind judging system. This means that the judge never sees who the artist is. The winners will be announced on the last day of the month following the competition. View our judges HERE.
- In the event a judge who has been promoted is unable to judge for any reason, an alternative judge will be appointed. If one cannot be found, judging will be done by an editor or publisher of either Fine Art Connoisseur or PleinAir magazine.
- Winners will be selected in each category of each monthly competition.
- Winners of each monthly competition, including each category winner, will be entered into the judging for the annual PleinAir Salon competition. Honorable Mention recipients are not entered into the annual competition and can therefore re-enter their paintings into subsequent competitions.
- In the event a category does not have enough entries or paintings of high enough quality, judges may decide not to award recognition in that particular category for that competition period.
By entering the PleinAir Salon, you agree that you are submitting images of your own original artwork and not that of other artists or material in which you do not hold the copyright. The original work does not have to currently be in your possession. You are also agreeing, in advance, to have your submitted artwork and your image published to any print or digital/electronic property of Streamline Publishing, Inc. This includes, but is not limited to, print and digital magazines, newsletters, websites, e-mails, social media pages, and promotional materials in perpetuity.
At times, Streamline Publishing, Inc. may request a higher-resolution image than was submitted through the PleinAir Salon. When entering, you agree to fulfill this request in a timely manner in order for Streamline Publishing, Inc. to promote the competition winners.
Each monthly competition ends at midnight Pacific Time on the published final day of that competition. Winners are announced the last day of the month following the competition. I.e. April winners are announced on May 31st.
Only electronic submissions through the competition’s official website will be accepted. Entries received by email, mail or physical delivery in the form of photographs, discs, or actual paintings will not be accepted.

評審規範
After the close of each monthly competition, an invited guest judge (top museum or gallery professional or master artist) selects the best paintings from each category based on a blind judging system. This means that the judge never sees who the artist is. The winners will be announced on the last day of the month following the competition.
In the event a judge who has been promoted is unable to judge for any reason, an alternative judge will be appointed. If one cannot be found, judging will be done by an editor or publisher of either Fine Art Connoisseur or PleinAir magazine.
Winners will be selected in each category of each monthly competition.
Winners of each monthly competition, including each category winner, will be entered into the judging for the annual PleinAir Salon competition. Honorable Mention recipients are not entered into the annual competition and can therefore re-enter their paintings into subsequent competitions.
In the event a category does not have enough entries or paintings of high enough quality, judges may decide not to award recognition in that particular category for that competition period.
每個月的比賽結束後,一位受邀的客座評委(頂級博物館或畫廊專業人士或大師級藝術家)根據盲評系統從每個類別中選出最佳畫作。這意味著法官永遠看不到藝術家是誰。獲獎者將在比賽結束後一個月的最後一天公佈。
如果晉升的法官因任何原因無法審判,將任命一名替代法官。如果找不到,將由 Fine Art Connoisseur 或 PleinAir 雜誌的編輯或出版商進行評審。
獲獎者將在每個月度比賽的每個類別中選出。
每個月度比賽的獲勝者,包括每個類別的獲勝者,將進入年度 PleinAir 沙龍比賽的評審。榮譽獎獲得者沒有參加年度比賽,因此可以將他們的畫作重新提交到以後的比賽中。
如果某個類別沒有足夠的參賽作品或質量足夠高的繪畫,評委可能會決定在該比賽期間不授予該特定類別的認可。
