Framing Requirements:
The Great Frame Up would be happy to assist in framing your work. If you choose to frame it yourself, be sure the frame is in excellent condition and properly wired with D-rings and securely wired – no sawtooth hangers or cleats. The wire should not appear above the frame when hung. Gallery wraps are acceptable if wrapped edges are painted or image carries over to the edges. Photographs printed on metal, or otherwise plaqued, are also allowed without frames and can be hung using the built-in hanger on the back (as long as it is not a cleat or uses screws for hanging). If glazed, be sure the glass is clean – gallery lights catch everything.

Non-refundable entry fee is $45 for one to three entries, $10 for each additional piece. A maximum of 5 entries allowed per artist. Entry fee payment and show submission is through OnlineJuriedShows.com.
JPEG images must not show mat, frame, etc. and must be cropped to include only the artwork. Make sure images are right side up. Entries must include the entire image.
