All entries must be exhibition ready; i.e., ready to hang or place on pedestals. You may submit up to 6 pieces of work.
Paintings, works in frames, etc., all must have d-rings or be wired. If you have a particularly heavy piece, you are advised to use d-rings.

All work must be of even dimensions (8" x 10" rather than 8.15" x 7.25"). Framing of works on paper protects your work and is greatly encouraged.
