Maricopa Community Colleges Visual Arts Student Competition 2018-2019

The Maricopa Community Colleges sponsor a district-wide competition to encourage and recognize student achievement in visual arts. Submissions are accepted in two categories: 2-D (Two-Dimensional Art) and 3-D (Three-Dimensional Art).

All visual art entered into the competition must have been made when the student was enrolled in an MCCCD credit course during the summer, fall 2018, or spring 2019 semesters. Winning entries will be displayed at the Orpheum Theatre for the MCCCD Artists of Promise gala on April 30, 2019. For the exhibition, 2-D work must be framed and wired. 3-D work must meet space and handling restrictions. No special hanging requirements can be considered due to exhibit area restrictions.

Submissions must be uploaded as JPG or JPEG files with a minimum dimension of 1920 pixels on the longest side. Maximum size for flat art is 30" x 40" and must weigh no more than 30 pounds. 3-D artwork must fit on a 20" x 20" pedestal and weigh no more than 60 pounds. Artists whose work is selected are responsible for preparing their artwork for exhibition and will be required to sign and submit a Liability Waiver Form and Talent Release Form prior to the exhibition.
