Artworks should be mounted on a firm, secure backing. 

Art is propped up for judging. Work should be matted and attached to a backing of Cardboard, foam core board, or a firm, sturdy backing.

 

Hanging devices are prohibited. No hanging artworks from walls of any kind.

 

No Glass.

 

There is no size requirement. However, all must be mounted. 

 

Framing is optional for stretched canvases and Masonite/hardboard.
