Description

Splash 27: The Best of Watercolor is accepting entries for 2025. All watercolor artists from around the world are invited to submit their best works.

Presented by Artists Network and Watercolor Artist magazine, the Splash series has been celebrating the incredible work being done by contemporary artists working in watermedia since 1991.

In addition to monetary awards ($3,500 in total), the top three prize winners will have their winning entries plus an in-depth artist’s profile published in The Best of Watercolor (Summer 2026), a special publication presented by the editors of Artists Magazine and Watercolor Artist.

Entrants must be at least 18 years of age or older and of the age of majority in their jurisdiction of residence.

The dominant medium must be watercolor, though some minor use of other media may be acceptable. Similar water-based media such as gouache, casein or egg tempera are acceptable as the dominant medium if used on paper. Please note, acrylic paints, while water-based, are NOT acceptable as the dominant medium. You must specify any other media used in addition to watercolor in your application.

Don’t miss the chance to become one of this year’s 100+ finalists selected for publication. This is THE watercolor event of the year.
