The Museum will take all reasonable precautions to protect the artwork from damage or theft; however, we cannot guarantee the safety of entries.  By submitting any work of art, the student assumes all risk of loss or damage.

First, second, and third place ribbons will be awarded.  The Museum’s Accession Committee will select pieces from the exhibition for $50 purchase awards.  Important:  Please indicate if the work is eligible for purchase, otherwise it will not be considered by the Accession Committee.  Museum will retain exclusive ownership and full copyright of all artwork purchased.

*Due to safety concerns for the general public, artwork will not be displayed if components detach from the surface or if the artwork itself separates from its matting. For example, please hot glue the matting to the artwork rather than use masking tape.

**These policies help to ensure fairness for all students.  Homeschooled students may submit through their educator.
