I’ve never entered mostly because I thought it had to be landscape … which mostly makes me want to pull my hair out. I wish I liked doing landscape, I love looking at landscape paintings, I admire SO many landscape artists… but I quite dislike doing them for the most part.
I only learned this year that not everything entered is landscape, but to see this change has me very, very excited!
I may or (more likely) not enter this year, but either way, I CANNOT wait to see all the submissions this year!!
Artists! It’s time. Our annual art competition is approaching fast. We are teaming up with Pattison Media for “Beauty of the Peace”. As of this year I am changing the title up a bit. Going forward it will be called Artists of the Peace. The reasoning is I want to see artists best work. Beauty of the Peace implies it’s a landscape competition which it was 30 years ago but now we want to see a variety of works, like last year with Megan Auxi. Submission window is Feb 17-27 and voting March 3-21 Announce March 23 Artists of the Peace 2026. *I did adjust the dates as I copied last years dates but they did not align properly with a 2026 calendar.
