Billboard Contest

How to Enter

1.   Create a free account on Fine Art America or login to your existing account.

2.   Upload three of your best images to the contest.   Your images can be in any medium (e.g. paintings, photographs, illustrations, digital art, etc.) and feature any work-safe subject matter.   All submissions are due by July 31st.

3.   Share your contest submissions on social media, and tell your friends and family to vote for your artwork on Fine Art America.   We'll provide you with a direct URL to each of your submissions.

4.   Each image that gets at least 250 votes will become a contest finalist and get featured on the Fine Art America Instagram account.

5.   On August 15th, a panel of judges will review all of the finalists and pick five winning images to appear on billboards throughout Los Angeles during the fall and winter.

What You'll Win

Five lucky winners will have their artwork featured on billboards throughout Los Angeles!

Each billboard will be at least 24 feet wide by 12 feet tall and will prominently feature your winning image, the title of the image, and your name or your preferred social media handle.

The billboards will be positioned around Los Angeles and Santa Monica and will remain visible for at least one month, each, throughout the fall and winter of 2019.

Additional Prizes

If any of your images pass the voting thresholds, below, then you'll automatically receive the corresponding prizes.   For example, if one of your images gets 375 votes, then you'll receive a free canvas print and a free t-shirt.   If another one of your images gets 44 votes, then you'll get another free t-shirt.

Contest Overview

Pixels is one of our fastest-growing brands, and we've had great success promoting the brand and our community of artists via a billboard advertising campaign that we've been running in Los Angeles since 2018.   

Each billboard features a prominent Pixels logo, one of our taglines, an incredible image from one of our artist, the title of the image, and the name of the artist or the artist's preferred social media handle.   You can see an example of one of the billboards, above.

In order to continue building awareness of Pixels and our growing community of artists, we're running a contest... and the winners will have their artwork featured on one of our upcoming billboards!
