Submit Your Entry

-->This online submission form is available through October 13th at 9pm.<--

Details on how to safely submit physical entries are still being worked out.

Entry forms will have an artist statement, which you can start thinking about now! Your artist statement should tell us about your work and what it means to you.

• How does your work relate to the theme?
• What is your personal connection to the theme?
• What did you use to create your work (e.g. supplies, technology, instrumentation, props, etc.)?
• What/Who was your inspiration?

Judging Criteria

Volunteer arts and education experts review submissions without knowledge of the entrants’ identity. Judges look for personal interpretations on the program theme that best exemplify creativity and technical skill.

• Interpretation: How closely the piece relates to the theme, based on the artwork itself and the artist statement.
• Creativity: How creative and original the piece is in its conception of the theme and its presentation.
• Technique: The level of skill demonstrated in the basic principles/techniques of the arts area.
