Want to read all the rules?
Please keep in mind the following:
Each student entry must be accompanied by a paper student entry form signed by a parent or a guardian and be completely filled out. The title and artist statement must be filled out by the student. The artist statement communicates the artist’s inspiration for the work and how it relates to the theme. The statement must describe the content and include at least one sentence but not exceed 100 words. The title and statement are VERY important to the judging.
Names CANNOT be on the front of any artwork or photography. Please print the student's full name on the back of their entry.
Students may enter more than one
category but may not have two entries in the same category. Each entry must be
the original work of ONE student only.
Artwork does not need to be wrapped or mounted on a hard surface for
submission as stated in the rules.
Please take a picture of your artwork
before you submit it! If your artwork is chosen to continue on in the
competition, you may not see it for many months! If it is chosen to go to
Nationals, it may be years before it is returned. Literature will not be returned if it goes to Nationals.
