The Olmsted Plein Air Invitational utilizes a three-judge panel to preview work created during the 9-day run of the Show.  When deciding on the top awards, the judges must reach unanimous agreement.  We reserve, for each judge, a choice of her or his personal favorite.  

The Sponsor of the Judges Awards of Merit receives a robust and high-visibility benefits package, including six (6) tickets to each signature event—Artist Welcome, BIG Petite Reveal, and Artist Awards Soirée—along with prominent logo placement and a link on the event website, inclusion in print materials, social media promotion, e-blasts, and on-site public recognition. Sponsors also participate in the award presentation and enjoy additional engagement opportunities throughout the event.  The Sponsor will stand alongside the judges and announce their choices.
