Process

From the eligible submissions, the jury will select the finalists. Finalists will be required to submit the original works for in-situ viewing by the jury and for public exhibitions of finalist works.  In 2016 there were 75 works selected for the finalist exhibitions.  The number of finalists will depend upon the works submitted.

Selection of finalists is at the sole discretion of the jurors and their decision is final.

Once the finalists have been determined, all entrants will be advised of the outcome, and those artists invited to participate in the exhibition will receive instruction on how and where to send their work. Finalists who do not submit the original work for the jury process and exhibitions will be disqualified from consideration for any awards.
