SKILL LEVELS
This competition includes artists of all ability levels. More experienced artists should compete at the Intermediate or Open level. This will ensure that the Novice levels of competition are reserved for beginning artists only. NOVICE: This level is designed to encourage those artists who are just at the beginning of their artistic endeavours. Artists who have not won 6 first place awards or Best of Event for their work may compete at this level. INTERMEDIATE: For artists who have progressed beyond the Novice level. Artists who have previously won 6 first place awards or Best of Event at the Novice level may compete at this level. OPEN: Open is open to all artists. Artists who have previously won 6 first place awards or Best of Event honours at the Intermediate level must compete at the Open level.
Novice and Intermediate level artists may move to the next level of competition at any time but are REQUIRED to compete at the next level if they have won 4 show awards (1st, 2nd or 3rd Best of Event) at their current level. If an artist has won any ribbon at a higher level they must continue to compete at that level or above. However, after 3 years of not winning any ribbon, the competitor may choose to drop back down to a lower level.
Junior aged artists may compete at the adult level if they wish.
NOTE: An artist entering more than one Event (Carving - Sculpture - Drawing - Photography) may compete at whichever level is most appropriate for their ability in that Event. However all entries within a single Event must be entered at the same level. For example: A Novice Carver can also be an Open Painter and an Intermediate Photographer. |
Pick up artwork - Sunday 4:00pm

No pieces will be removed prior to this time without permission from Show Chair.
