Download the full prospectus here, and be sure to print out the form to submit with your entry!
Entries: All photographs must be ready to hang with these submission requirements:
- Each member may submit one photograph.
- To ensure consistency, all two dimensional photographs must be matted in white or natural museum board and the frame, a simple, neutral colored metal or wood.. All photographs must be behind glass or Plexiglas and framing should cover all glass edges. Exceptions to this are photos printed on canvas or metal. Use wire on the back for hanging (no saw tooth type hanging devices or single hooks).
- Sales are encouraged. APU will take 30% of the sale.
- Due to space limitation, no pieces larger than 30 inches in the longest dimension.
- Identifying labels must be attached to the back of the artwork. Blank labels are at the end of this prospectus. Make triplicate copies: one for the back of the print, one to leave for us when you bring your print to Blaine’s, and one for your records.
- The artist must complete and sign the entry form, which is also at the end of this prospectus. Submit this with your photo.
- Be prepared to sign in at the Blaine’s drop off with your name, the title of the photograph, and the sales price. This is necessary for the signage and APU guidelines.
APC will not accept artwork that does not meet the above requirements.
