Jury Process

This is a juried show. Applications are judged by an anonymous jury on a number of different criteria, including but not limited to: originality and uniqueness of work; work that is hand-crafted; craftsmanship/ technique; and suitability for the festival. 

Four digital images are required as part of your application (not to exceed 2MB per image). Image quality is essential and can make a difference in your acceptance, as the jury has only your digital images with which to judge your work. The best image is one that is fully framed with the artist’s single work, is well lit, and is representative of the body of work intended for exhibition. Your booth image should show your booth as it is set up for exhibition at an outdoor show, tent included.
