Sale Art Contest | Canadian Warmblood Auction

2023 Fall Classic Breeders’ Sale Art Contest open for Submissions

In following the tradition of past years, we invite you to participate in the Equine Art Selection process for the 2023 Fall Classic Breeders’ Sale. We are soliciting submissions of original artwork for consideration for use in our promotional materials, catalogue cover, website, and advertising! The selected piece is sold as Lot 0 of the sale, with 80% of the proceeds going to the artist. Artwork of any medium — oil, pastel, watercolour etc. — is acceptable, including limited edition prints of original work. The committee looks for an image that depicts or represents the Warmblood horse in some fashion related to breeding and/or sport and the chosen piece will have a layout compatible with our catalogue cover design and advertising material.

To enter the contest, please complete a submission form for each entry, along with a corresponding digital copy.
