Get matched →The Almenara Art Prize is an international online painting competition open to artists worldwide. With a total prize pool exceeding €65,000—including more than €30,000 in cash and €35,000 in products—the competition welcomes painters working in a broad range of styles and techniques.
Open to artists from any country. No limit to the number of works an artist may enter, nor any size restriction.
Oil, acrylic, watercolor, pastel, graphite, colored pencil, ink, charcoal, gouache, tempera, and all traditional mediums on surfaces such as canvas, linen, cardboard, paper, copper, or wood. Styles range from hyperrealism and photorealism to impressionism, surrealism, and plein air painting.
Works do not need to be available for sale, though only works marked for sale may compete for acquisition prizes. Artists retain 100% of their sale price, as The Almenara Collection connects buyers directly with artists without taking a commission.
Selected, finalist, and winning works will be exhibited on the organization's website and social media, with winners remaining permanently showcased online.
Register using the form on the website by June 30, 2026.
