WHAT IS THE AMERICAN ART AWARDS ?

After much research, each year the American Art Awards Advisory Board selects the 25 Best Galleries And Museums In America ——  and then in late summer these 25 galleries and museums vote on online images, launching new artists, giving cash prizes, prestige and/or career validation to 300+ artists (1st to 6th Place in each of 50 categories).

 

 

WHAT IS THE EASIEST WAY TO ENTER MY ART ?   CAN I DO THIS IN 3 MINUTES ?

 Yes. Paypal $25 per submission to amerartawards@aol.com, then email to the same address your image (about 1MB size), your name, country, web site (if you have one), title, size and mediums used. We’ll email you back to confirm. In August we’ll send your info and image to the voting galleries & museums, then in September we’ll email you if you won 1st to 6th Place in any of the 50 categories, or won any cash prize(s).

OTHER FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS 

 

WHEN DO I FIND OUT IF I WON ?

The galleries and museums see and score your art in August, so by the middle of September we have tabulated all scores. If you are one of 300 winners, we will email you by September 21st to let you know – but we don’t tell anyone else except the winners then – because we have an exciting 50+ DAY REVEAL to the public – the longest art competition reveal in history. 50 categories of winners are revealed to the media one category at a time, in at least one article per day, which takes place throughout September to November.

DO I STILL OWN MY IMAGE ? CAN ANYONE STEAL IT ?

Any image you send us remains your property but for your benefit we will post it on our site and with online news as well as in a YouTube movie. We do this with low resolution images which look great online, but they do not print well, so in this way we do our best to protect you from anyone stealing your work. In other words, the images we will have will be similar to the quality you have on your own site, so we do not increase the risk of theft.

WHAT ARTWORK CAN’T I ENTER ? 
 
You may not enter an artwork which has previously won an American Art Award.
 
WHAT DO ARTISTS HAVE TO SAY ABOUT THE AMERICAN ART AWARDS ?

WHY IS THERE A FEE ?

Your fee goes to our many cash prizes and administrative costs:
We will email you back with verification of your submission information.
We will send your art images and contact info to all voting galleries and museums (plus they may contact you to discuss representation [no guarantees]).
We will email the results to all 300+ winning artists and issue an international press release to 597 publications naming the 5 cash winners, and distribute 100 articles to over 100,000 galleries, collectors, artists, and or viewers of online art pages.
We will create 50 to 100 articles to promote winning artists.
We will post these articles to hundreds of Facebook art groups accessible to millions of members.
We will post winning art images and artists’ contact info on our site.
We will produce a MOVIE for YouTube starring all winning art. 
 
 
 
 
 
DO THE VOTING GALLERIES AND MUSEUMS GET PAID ?
 
No. The galleries and museums that participate love art and support new artists. All want to see new art and some want to discover new talent.  

DO ALL GALLERIES AND MUSEUMS REALLY GET MY INFO AND ART ?

All museums and galleries have committed to scoring all art, but we can not guarantee that all will. One year we had to remind one gallery 10 times to vote, and kept pushing back results until they did, but we cannot do that again. So if one or more galleries do not send in their votes by our 5th extended deadline, we will just tabulate the other gallery scores. Here are the 2021 voting galleries/museums:
