Before completing an online submission form, please read the Conditions of Entry & General Submission Guidelines below and the Category-Specific Guidelines applicable to your work. Collectively, these criteria serve as the rules and conditions governing eligibility and participation in the Festival.

Art & Photography
This category includes paintings, photographs, graphics, and other two-dimensional mixed media. Artists may submit up to three digital art files for consideration. Submissions with more than one file should be related thematically and considered part of the same series. Multiple unrelated digital art files will not be considered. Please read the theme description and the category-specific guidelines before submitting your application.

Sculpture
There are two sub-categories, including Sculpture and Recycled Art. All entries must be accompanied by a complete list of materials used and details on where they were sourced. All sculptures will be exhibited outdoors with open exposure to the elements. Please read the theme description and the category-specific guidelines before submitting your application.

Film

Student
Students in grades K-12 are eligible to submit one work under this category. If students decide to submit work in this category, they should not submit additional work under any other category. Students who wish to submit multiple works across categories should not apply as a student. Instead, they should submit directly through the main Fine Art & Photography, Sculpture, and Film categories. Please read the theme description and the category-specific guidelines before submitting your application.
