Since we currently have a very high number of applicants in the areas of jewelry and photography, the number of accepted applicants may be limited.

Standards of Acceptance
Concept
Work must be designed and executed by the artist/craftsperson. Production work is not accepted.
Design
The form and structure of the object must be planned and fashioned artistically using the organization or structure of formal elements of the art or craft -- composition, balance, color, and texture. The work should demonstrate expertise of workmanship and knowledge of technique.
Originality
The work must show the ability to think and express oneself independently and individually with freshness or novelty in its idea or method, using color and texture in an original and creative manner. Craft items must include handmade components.
Presentation
A high quality of craftsmanship and a finished look is expected and the work should be displayed in a professional manner. Work presented should be in "exhibit" condition. All two-dimensional artwork must be framed or gallery-wrapped (having the media continue around the top, bottom and sides of the stretched canvas).
