Entry Guidelines:

  • All entries need to incorporate the ‘change starts here’ theme which means we want submissions to speak to social issues in the community and offer hope for change. We are looking for creative, expressive, and thought provoking visual artwork that educates, challenges beliefs and raises awareness in our community.
  • Entries can’t exceed 36” X 48” (exceptions may be made if approved in advance).
    • Artwork must be original creations, completed by the entrant.
    • Participants may submit more than one work.
    • As all entries will be hung, submissions MUST have either large eyelet hangers or a sturdy picture wire attached to the back, so they can be hung easily.
    • Each entry MUST have a label on the back indicating your name, title of work and contact information.
