The number of painters who submit work to the festival is regularly over 300 – generally 40% of participants are professional academic artists, while the rest are amateur artists who are eager to offer their creative work for comparative evaluation. Typically 1 in 3 works submitted is selected by an international jury and exhibited in either Piran City Gallery or in the Storehouse of Monfort Salt in Portorož. The international jury of the festival usually bestows works in different categories: the grand prix for painting – past winners include Matej Čepin (2009), Bojan Šumonja (2010), Branko Kolarič (2011) – further major purchase prizes, the young artist prize, the watercolour prize, and honourable mentions. The festival of ceramics also gives the grand prix (in 2009 went to Anja Radović) plus a solo exhibition at the Pečarič Gallery (in 2009 went to Andreja Trkman). Upon viewing selected exhibited works, various sponsors and regional hotels award around 40 additional purchase prizes.
