Concours d'art en ligne « July Salon Art Prize »

The July Salon Art Prize is an international online art competition organized by PleinAir & Fine Art Connoisseur Magazines. Running from July 1 to July 31, 2026, the competition invites artists worldwide to submit original paintings or drawings (photography, AI‑generated images, and printed or painted‑over photographs are not eligible). All entries must be original works and artists must be at least 18 years old. The competition consists of 11 monthly cycles, each awarding $2,250 in cash prizes, and culminates in an annual award where two Grand Prize winners each receive $15,000 and a feature on the cover of either PleinAir Magazine or Fine Art Connoisseur Magazine. In total, more than $65,000 in cash prizes are distributed each year. Entry fees are $40 for the first painting ($29 early‑bird) and $16 for each additional painting ($12 early‑bird). Winners gain extensive exposure through the magazines, newsletters, websites, and social media platforms, as well as inclusion in a showcase at the PleinAir Convention & Expo. The competition is open to artists of any nationality or residence, provided they meet the age and originality criteria.
