This event is sponsored by the Art & Graphic Design Departments.
Our mission for this competition is to provide high school art students with an opportunity to exhibit their work, compete with and view other students’ work, and receive feedback from artists and college instructors.
Judges are chosen from art instructors at the college level and art professionals, and will be present at the awards ceremony to give a critique of the winning entries. Originality, creativity and technical proficiency are some of the things the judges will be considering as they view the students’ work.
Medals & Ribbons will be awarded in the following categories:
- Painting
(Watercolor, Oil, Acrylic, Gouache, Tempera) - Drawing
(Charcoal, Pastel, Graphite, Conte, India Ink) - Printmaking
(Relief, Intaglio, Screenprint, Lithography, Monotype, Monoprints, and Gelli prints.) - Photography
(Digital, Analog, Smartphone, Photo-Printmaking Techniques) - Ceramics
(Slab, Coil, Pinch, or Wheel Throw pots ...NOT Sculptural or Non-Functional works) - Sculpture
(3D Work including Wood, Paper, Metal, and Clay. SCULPTURAL CERAMIC works belong in this category. Focus on Relief, Subtractive, Additive or Casting processes. Also 3D printed forms created from scratch: digital sculpting without pre-fabricated files and structures.) - Graphic Arts
(Illustration, Graphic Design, Commercial Art, Product Design) - Fiber Arts (Fashion/Clothing, Tapestries, Weaving, Crochet, Quilting, or any other works including fibrous threads and material.)
- Mixed Media
(Any work that combines media from more than 2 sources. Oil and Acrylic painting combined is still a painting, but oil painting on a photograph is mixed media (as an example). Artwork in this category should be combinations from 2 or more different categories, not techniques or materials within their own discipline. 2D Cut Paper artworks belong in this category. ) - BEST OF SHOW
