TBD
1. How old can artwork be?
Artwork must be produced in the last two years. High school work is not eligible.
2. Does a series of work count as one piece?
No. A series of work is made up of several individual pieces of artwork. Each piece of artwork would be counted as one entry.
3. Can I enter pieces that did not get in last year?
Yes. as long as they were not displayed in last year’s exhibition.
4. When will the awards be announced?
The merit awards will be posted on opening day. The purchase awards will be announced at the mid-point of the reception.
5. I do not want my piece for sale, can I enter the piece of artwork?
Yes. Mark on your entry image list that the artwork is Not For Sale.
6. How do I determine the insurance value of my artwork?
The insurance value is typically lower than the sale price and you can prove that you have sold similar work for that amount.
