Paint the Parks is America's leading competition designed to illustrate the beauty and significance of America’s national parks. Paintings depict the diverse treasures—both natural and cultural—that are preserved and protected by the National Park Service.
Paintings entered must depict one of our nation's 390 areas supervised by the National Park Service. The Paint the Parks winning paintings are chosen to go on to a national touring exhibit. With this honor comes national exposure, through an online and touring exhibition, professional national publicity and attention. The competition’s overall winner claims a $10,000 Grand Prize Purchase Award. Other artists in the Paint the Parks competition also have an excellent chance to receive additional purchase awards, cash awards and prizes.
The Grand Canyon Association selected Morning on the Colorado River by Flagstaff artist, Arline Tinus as its Grand Canyon Award Winner. This image is now part of the association’s permanent art collection.
Entries are juried by a panel of nationally recognized arts professionals and the top 100 paintings tour the nation for a year.
