The American Academy of Equine Art (AAEA) is inviting submissions for its 2025 Juried Online Show, seeking exceptional equine artwork in painting, drawing, and sculpture. The jury will prioritize originality, quality, and diversity in both style and subject matter.
Artists must be 18 or older and living in North America. Up to three original works may be submitted, created within the past 3–5 years (depending on medium), and not previously accepted into any AAEA exhibit. Only traditional, self-made artworks are eligible—no AI or digital entries allowed.
The deadline for online submissions, including JPEG images and payment, is midnight, October 26, 2025. Entry fees are $25 for members and $35 for non-members. Check payments must include a printed form and be postmarked by the deadline.
Winners will be announced around November 23, 2025, with over $4,000 in prizes across multiple categories, including classical equine art, action scenes, sporting depictions, and Western themes.
