Organized by the Federation of Canadian Artists, Painting on the Edge is a juried competition open to all living artists worldwide featuring original paintings, printmaking and drawing media. Abstract , expressive , impressionist or realist styles are welcome.The name, Painting on the Edge , is partly derived from the physical location of Vancouver, BC Canada on the West Coast of North America, on the edge of the Pacific Ocean, and from the challenge issued to the artists to push their artistic limits and create extraordinary and unique images.

Entries are welcome from all artists working in two dimensions in all traditional art media (e.g. Oil, watercolor, acrylic, pastel mixed media, gouache, egg tempera, pen and ink; drawing media such as graphite, charcoal, colored pencils, scratch board, markers, metal point, and two-dimensional collage ).

Digital art, photography or three-dimensional art such as installation art or sculpture will not be accepted.
