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 may plein air painters also paint figures and still lives. Our interest is in rewarding great paintings.
There are 19 categories to submit a painting in and paintings should be in the traditional 2D style.
