11th Annual National Pastel Exhibition

This is an open call for artists working in soft pastel. Original pastel artwork only; all submissions must be for sale. A maximum of 3 pieces may be submitted for jurying. Work must be ready to hang, and due to space restrictions, all pieces must be under 34" wide outside frame dimension.

Entry fees are $35 for two images or $45 for three images. Awards include Best of Show ($650), Second ($350), Third ($200), and additional cash and merchandise prizes. Artists are encouraged to attend the reception.

Submissions must be high-quality JPEG files at least 1500 pixels on the longest edge with a maximum file size of 30 MB. Images should be cropped to show only the artwork itself with no visible matting, frames, or background distractions, and must be oriented correctly. Entry fees are not refundable and must be submitted and paid by the entry deadline. Entries cannot be accepted or changed after the deadline, and incomplete entries will be disqualified.
