Eligibility

•       Artists must be NPS Signature members in good standing (dues have been maintained up-to-date). Signature member status is achieved by having been accepted into three separate NPS International Open Exhibitions.

•       Works must be in dry (soft - hard) pastel and created within the past 2 years.

•       Work must be original and from your own references, not based on photos or creations made by other artists, copyright-free photos or other published materials.

•       Any reference provided by an instructor is not eligible, including an instructor-provided photo, still-life setup, or model setup.

•       Work that was done in a classroom, workshop, or in an online group scenario is not eligible.

•       Work exhibited in previous NPS exhibits or in previous shows at the Scott Milo Gallery is not eligible. Work that has won a top award (Best of Show, first, second or third place) in any other international or national art show or exhibition is not eligible.

•       Mixed media pieces must be at least 80% pure pigment (dry pastel).

•       Work must be originally drawn, not drawn by digital projection or created on top of a base photo/print.

•       All accepted artwork must be framed, professional in appearance and ready to hang with strong wire and flat metal hangers. An acid-free mat, when used, must be proximal to the pastel painting’s surface (not painted on the pastel painting’s support board), and clear of any pastel dust. Float mount of the pastel painting on acid-free mat board is permitted. NPS or Scott Milo Gallery may refuse to hang accepted work that does not meet professional standards.

•       Accepted works cannot be entered into 2 shows, exhibitions or  competitions concurrently, including online competitions.
