What You'll Win

Twenty lucky winners will have their artwork featured on billboards throughout the United States!

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

The billboards will be positioned in various cities throughout the United States and will remain visible for at least one month, each, during the fall and winter of 2022.

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.

Canvas Prints: 250+ Votes

If one of your images gets at least 250 votes in the contest, then you'll get a free 24" x 36" canvas print from Pixels.   Once the contest is over, you'll receive a gift code which will allow you to upload any image via our upload & create interface and then purchase that image as a canvas print up to 24" x 36" in size.
