Plein Air Magazine will do a story about the contest, and they'll talk it up in their weekly newsletter Plein Air Today. They will cover it on www.outdoorpainter.com and show the winning entries at the Plein air convention in front of an audience of 800+ plein air artists from around the world next April in Monterey.
That's all in addition to my originally-announced prize of signed and remarqued books.

This is a great opportunity to get your work seen by a lot of people worldwide. And it's totally free to enter.

It can be serious or funny, a true story or a tall tale, live action or animation. It's just a minute long, but a minute is enough to present a clear idea or a strong story with definite characters.
