COMPETITION RULES
This juried competition for
"representational art" seeks work that celebrates the beauty of the
Province of Ontario. Images depicting marine themes, landscapes,
architectural, figurative, historical or regional flora and fauna are all
encouraged to compete for cash awards and other prizes.
This is an open competition. All
artists are eligible to enter provided they meet the rules. To
conform with the spirit of the awards, all work must be original. No
reproductions or prints (Except mono prints 1/1) No
copies from other artists or from published material will be allowed.
No supervised work will be allowed.
Work accepted must be suitably framed
(unless work is designed to hang unframed) and wired for hanging.
A completed Official Exhibit Label must be attached to the back of each
piece entered. Copies of exhibit labels are acceptable.
All work must be "representational". But, this is not just a
"photo-realism" competition, so don't be deterred from pushing the
creative envelope with your personal interpretations. Work can be
oil, watercolour, acrylic, pencil, charcoal, pastel, mixed media or other
acceptable media. No sculpture, photography, computer art or textile
art. TOTAL OUTSIDE DIMENSIONS (INCLUDING FRAME) MUST NOT
EXCEED 36" x 48". No repeat entries.
