Artists are eligible to submit works without regard to sex, race, creed or national origin. Artists must be 18 years of age or older (current FSU CVATD faculty or students may not enter). All media is eligible for consideration. For two-dimensional pieces provide one (1) image per work. For three-dimensional and installation pieces artists may provide two (2) images per work—a front and rear view or an overall view and a detail. Video based media submissions are eligible for consideration but must be in Quicktime or Windows Media Player format, and should be no longer than a two-minute trailer. Each CD or slide must be clearly marked with the artist’s name and title(s) of work. If you are submitting slides, please indicate with an arrow, on the slide, the TOP of the work. The Museum does not impose size restraints, however see Shipping Exceptions for further details. Work must be original and prepared for exhibition (i.e. ready for hanging or other appropriate installation). No framed work, other than hand-delivered, may be shipped with glass; artists must use Plexiglas in framing. Although all reasonable precautions ARE taken to ensure protection of accepted work, in case of accidentAL DAMAGE, claims for full loss must be justified by prior sales amounts equivalent to the value of the claim. Work will be insured from the time of arrival at the museum through return transit (see Shipping Exceptions).Method of Selection
The competition is juried by a panel of faculty members from the Florida State University College of Visual Arts, Theatre and Dance. Jurors select works based on their own merit and must agree the artist demonstrates skill within the chosen medium. Selections are made from the digital images, so it is imperative that quality images be provided to insure fair judging. Jurors and the FSU Museum reserve the right to reject, upon arrival, any work of unacceptable craftsmanship and quality not discernible in the image.Shipping of Accepted Entries
Artists must provide for incoming shipping and insurance to the Museum. Work must conform to parcel post, DHL, Fed Ex or UPS weight and girth limitations. Arrangements for delivery and return of oversized work must be made, and paid for, by the artist (see Shipping Exceptions). Artists whose works are selected for exhibition must have their work in the Museum by 08/11/11. In most cases, except those as outlined below, the Museum will provide return transit. The Museum will choose the most economical means of return. Works will be returned packed in the same materials and manner in which they are received, therefore crates, boxes and other shipping containers must be strong enough for the return trip.Shipping Exceptions
Artists who are outside the US and artists whose crated work exceeds parcel post, DHL, Fed EX or UPS weight and girth limitations will be responsible for both incoming and return shipping arrangements and costs, including transit insurance. The works must ship out the week immediately following the exhibition closing date, and the Museum must be informed as to the exact date of pick up. Artists who choose to hand-deliver their work to the Museum must also pick up their work. The Museum will not reimburse travel. In addition to being responsible for incoming and return shipping and transit insurance, artist who are outside the US will also be responsible for all expenses related with customs clearance, including duties and taxes and the hiring of a customs broker if necessary.Special Insurance Limitations
Artists sometimes choose to present works on paper (drawings, photographs, prints, etc.) without frames and this presentation method will be subject to review at the Museum; the Museum may be unable to hang works presented without frames, other than multiples (photographs and prints), due to insurance requirements, but will proceed on a case by case basis.In the instance of damage to a photographic or print work, the artist's damage claim will be limited to the cost of reprinting the image(s) or repairing damage incurred to the frame or other mounting support. Invoice, receipt, estimate or other documentation must be provided to support the re-printing and/or remounting expense. No other damage claims will be possible under the terms of the current insurance contract. Claims for damage to photographic or print works will be for replacement cost only and as such, the damaged work then becomes property of the FSU Museum of Fine Arts.
