YOUTH AWARD: Anyone 18 years and under competing for the youth award should indicate Youth on the entry.

JUDGING: This is a juried exhibit; entry does not guarantee acceptance into the exhibition. The jurors’ decisions are final. Please provide a valid email address to receive notification of the results, as results will not be mailed. After accepted entries have been dropped off, the judge will determine the award winners and the winners will be notified via email.

FRAMING AND SIZE REQUIREMENTS: All entries must be securely prepared and ready for display. Photographs must be matted and framed with plexiglass or glass in an enclosed 4-sided metal or wood frame, equipped with a wire hanger (NO SAWTOOTH OR ONE HOLE HANGERS). Gallery-wrapped canvas prints, metal prints, or other alternative mounting methods may be submitted without mats or frames but must include a properly installed wire hanger. Please inquire if you have questions on unique mounting. Wire hangers must not be visible while the piece is on display. Mats must be physically separate from the photographic print itself - printed white borders do not qualify as mats. Any work that does not meet these presentation standards, regardless of jury acceptance, will not be permitted in the exhibition. The minimum visible print size is 25 united inches (United inches = 1 length of visible print plus 1 width of visible print; for example, an 11 x 14 visible print size would be 25 united inches.). The maximum outside frame size is 66 united inches (add 1 length plus, 1 width of outside frame measurement).

SALES: Sales will be handled by the Wassenberg Art Center and a commission of 30% will be charged. Works not priced on entry form will be considered Not For Sale (NFS). Entry into this exhibit will be considered by the Wassenberg Art Center as a contract and agreement to these terms.
