Rules for Artist Entrants

Artists are responsible for the legal and ethical integrity of their artwork. An artwork may be rejected by jurors if, in the jurors’ opinions, the artwork appears to be derived from another’s art (including copyrighted or public domain photography even when express permission has been given by the copyright owner). ASAA encourages originality and therefore discourages the direct copy of photos and any work so derived runs the risk of
rejection by the jurors. All participants warrant that their work will be their own creation and never plagiarize the work of others, nor infringe upon the copyrights of artists, photographers or other entities.

Slides are no longer accepted.

Accepted artwork submitted not exhibiting the quality indicated in the scanned digital image will be disqualified by the hanging committee.
