2025 Annual Online Signature Members' Show

This online exhibition is open to all NJWS Signature Members who have paid their 2025 membership dues. Each member may submit one original painting created entirely by the artist in water-based media including watercolor, acrylic, casein, and gouache on paper, Yupo, Aquabord, Claybord, or watercolor board. Collage elements must be made of paper, created by the artist, and constitute less than 10% of the painting. Artwork previously shown in any NJWS exhibition will not be accepted. No copies, prints, classwork, workshop creations, computer art, oils, water-soluble oils, textural materials, canvas, or nude paintings are accepted.

All entries meeting the eligibility criteria will be included in the online virtual gallery and considered for awards: Best in Show ($500), 3 Awards of Excellence ($300 each), and 3 Awards of Merit ($150 each). Entries must be submitted as 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 without matting, frames, or background distractions, and must be oriented correctly. Prices for artwork cannot be changed once submitted. NJWS receives no commission on sales; requests for sales will be forwarded to the artist who is solely responsible for sale and delivery.

For questions about the prospectus, eligibility, or artwork requirements, contact Michael Berardesco at [email protected]. For membership information or to verify if your dues are paid, visit njwatercolor.org/membership or email the organization. The entry deadline is May 27, 2025.
