Sorry, no shipping options available. Entries are to be submitted electronically for the jurying process via the web-based competition management system, Smarter Entry.

Accommodations may be made in advance. We are unable to accept works that are shipped. •Show administrators reserve the right to reject a photograph when delivered to the show site if the photograph fails to comply with framing rules or varies significantly from the electronic version of the photo. •The minimum image size is 8” x 8” (not the frame, the image) •The maximum width of the framed photo is 34”, measured on the outside edge of the frame. •The maximum overall framed size is 60 inches, which is determined by adding the outside-framed height, plus the outside framed width together. For example: A 16"x20" print in a frame might measure 19"x23" when measured from outside edge to outside edge. Add 19"+23" to determine the overall framed size which, in this example, is 42". •Photos may not weigh more than 12 lbs. We do have a scale. •Photos must have picture-hanging wire firmly attached across the back. Wires must be taught and placed between 1/3 and 1/4 the height of the frame measured from the top of the frame. Sharp wire ends must be taped.
