Drawings, paintings, printmaking, photography, digital art, sculpture, ceramics, and mixed media are eligible. Media not accepted: video/film, installations, wearable art (clothing or jewelry). All works submitted must be original in design and concept, and may not be done under supervision. Entries previously submitted for the Art Kudos competition are ineligible.
