The first-place winner will receive a $5,000 cash award and 25 artist proof prints, with additional cash prizes for second through fifth place. A nonrefundable $50 entry fee is required per submission, though artists aged 18 and younger may enter for free. All entries must be submitted online by July 31, 2026.
