The awards for the November 2024 PleinAir Salon Art Competition were announced on December 30th. The selections were made by our judge, Master Artist Dean Mitchell. The overall and category winners will now be included in the judging for the 14th Annual PleinAir Salon Competition being awarded in May 2025.

Each category award winner is now entered into the Annual Competition. In April, judges will review all the winners from the 14th Annual PleinAir Salon, and we will award over $22,000 at the Annual Competition held in May 2025.

The category honorable mention recipients are eligible to re-enter their paintings into future competitions.

Each month all the entries are reviewed and scored by a judge. The paintings with the highest scores become the Top 100 Finalists. (In the event of tied scores, there may be more than 100). The awards for the monthly competition are selected from this group of finalist.
