List of Hallgarten Prize–winning painters

The winners were chosen by a vote of all the artists participating in each year's exhibition, and the prizes were accompanied by a cash award.

[1] Winning a Hallgarten could give a tremendous boost to the career of a young painter.

The prizes were held in especially high regard because the winners were selected by one's fellow artists.

[3] The late Mr. JULIUS HALLGARTEN, of New York, endowed prizes of three hundred, two hundred and one hundred dollars, to be awarded respectively to the painters of the best three pictures in oil colors exhibited at each Annual Exhibition, under the following conditions:"All works will be considered to be in competition which have been painted in the United States by an American citizen under thirty-five years of age, and which have not before been publicly exhibited in the City or vicinity of New York.

"[1]Julius Hallgarten also created an endowment of $5,000 for the National Academy of Design School of Art.
