Jury & Judge Process
Fine Art Fair Artist Selection
Each year, over hundreds of artists from around the world submit their proposal of images and summary of work to be juried into the Peoria Fine Art Fair - one of the top fine art fairs in the country. To select the final body of artists to be showcased, a panel of professionals with varying backgrounds in art education, history, collecting and aesthetics is gathered to score each artist’s work. After each juror reviews all of the artists and their work, the artists with the top scores in each medium are then invited to participate in the Fine Art Fair.

1 Best of Show - $3,000
3 Awards of Excellence - $1,000
