Painted Ursa 2025

The Painted Ursa Painting Competition was created to inspire new painters to learn more about painting and the hobby, as well as to push established and veteran painters to explore new techniques. Painted Ursa is intended to provide an atmosphere that encourages learning and the sharing of techniques and knowledge.

Painted Ursa is an open competition with awards given based on merit. This style of competition awards medals based on level of skill. Your entry will compete against itself as opposed to those entered into the same category. While there is still an element of competition between painters, the primary goal is to reward painters for their current level of skill and help give them a measurable goal for improvement from year to year.

Details and final rules for 2025 will be posted here when available.
