Jurying and Judging
Teachers may submit up to five (5) pieces of student artwork for jurying.
The quality of the work and its successful presentation are one of the factors that are considered in the judging process. The judges look for originality, personal use of media, skill and technique, and evidence of the emergence of a personal/artistic vision and style. Work submitted must be original student art that does not infringe on someone else’ work or idea. If a teacher is sending in work from a lesson that uses appropriation, parody, or satire, they must still credit or cite the original piece of art. For example, changing the medium of an original work or creating a painting based on an existing photograph is still a violation of copyright. For more information on copyright visit: www.copyrightalliance.org. Students may however use their own original photograph to create an artwork. It is recommended that students include a copy of photograph used. Teachers are notified of accepted work via Email.
Return and Pick up of Artwork
All 2-D works and non-fragile 3-D pieces are mailed directly to the school after show closing. All unclaimed prizes and participant ribbons are returned with the art. 3D fragile and oversized works must be picked up on location. M-DPCS Division of Life Skills Staff assumes no responsibility for works not retrieved from the museum.
