DIVISIONS AND CATEGORIES
Once an artist is
established in one of the Artist Divisions, that artist may move up to another
division, but may never move down regardless of any new art mediums worked in
or submitted. If an artist is moving up in an Artist Division, the artist will
make that change upon entering the first club show after the LSAG convention.
(Rule #96)

General Note for A,

Whether it has glass over it or
not, consider rather, the techniques and medium being used to
produce
the artwork rather than the frame and/or covering.
ARTISTIC REQUIREMENTS:
All entries must be
ORIGINAL IN CONCEPT AND DESIGN. There will be no copies from either published
materials or original works of art. The artists should use their pictures or
photographs as
reference only for particular subjects to be portrayed if no
other access to these subjects is available.
Only the artist may work on
a piece of art work. No patterns, kits, or molds may be used, with the
exception of bronze castings from the artist’s original work. Work entered is
to have been completed within 24 months of the show. Work previously entered in
a BVAL show or which has won a blue ribbon or best of show at another LSAG Show
is not eligible for entry in this show. Because the show is intended as an
exhibit for the general public, the show committee reserves the right to refuse
work, which in their opinion, is obscene or offensive.
PHYSICAL REQUIREMENTS:
All work to be hung shall
be framed, complete with wire, ready for hanging. An exception is made in the
Other Art Category. This work may be
unframed if it is finished to the edge. No work over 15 pounds or
larger than the width of a flat (38 inches – measured to the
outside of the frame) is allowed. Please call if in doubt.
LIABILITY:
The BVAL will take
reasonable precautions to prevent damage to or loss of the work entered,
however, artists are advised that they are entering the show at their own risk.
The BVAL will not be responsible for damage or loss.
JUDGING AND AWARDS:
There will be monetary or
gift awards for Best of Show, Best Floral, and
BVAL Award. Ribbons will be awarded for 1st place overall
in each Division, and Ribbons will be awarded for 1st, 2nd,
3rd places within each Category in each Division. The judge may award honorable mention ribbons
where merited. The judge is not obliged to award place ribbons and may withhold
ribbons if entries in a particular Category do not merit them.
