Judging for awards will be finalized based on works received in person.
There will be reception and an awards ceremony on Saturday March 8th from 5:00 – 8:00pm.

All student submissions must be entered through our online entry form below.

Applicants are limited to one entry, and each entry may contain up to two pieces of work to be included in the jury process.
Applicants must submit an artist statement as part of their Profile, and each piece needs a description of work which should include the materials used to create the piece and the piece category. Please ignore the prompt to create a new entry if your pieces are in different categories and submit both in the same entry. You will need to choose a category for the entry, but please also note the category of each piece in the piece description.
Please indicate your school and grade along with your submission. You can do this on the Partner line of your profile. If you have created a profile before, please update the grade, school information, and artist statement if needed. If you are a homeschooled student, please indicate that on the Partner line.
