Terms and Conditions for Entry

• Open to Utah residents & UWS members. Participants are limited to a total of three (3) entries. No refunds once payment is received.
• All work must be original. No work produced under instruction or in a workshop, or copies of another’s work or recognizable use of another's copyrighted intellectual property will be accepted.
• Must have been completed within the last two years, and not have previously been exhibited in a juried exhibit sponsored by the Utah Watercolor Society. All works must be on natural or synthetic paper or paperboard, rendered in water media and unvarnished. No clay board or canvas. No water based oils. A work that is primarily collage must use water media paper painted by the artist. A work that is mixed media/collage must use at least 75% water-based media in conjunction with other media, such as pastel, ink, crayon, printed collage papers, found papers, etc. These "other media" may not be the dominant element. No digital art will be accepted.
• Unframed image may be no smaller than 100 square inches. To determine eligible size, multiply height by width. The resulting number cannot be less than 100. For example, 8”x10”=80in² (too small) or 9”x12”=108in² (eligible for entry). There are no maximum image size criteria.
• Work selected for the exhibition must remain for the duration of the show. Artists may not substitute another work for an accepted work nor withdraw the work once accepted. Artists who do withdraw work may not enter future UWS shows for two years.
• By entering this show you grant permission to use your artwork image in publicity.
• A commission of 35% will be deducted from all sales. No changes in price or other entry details can be made after the submission deadline! By entering this show, the artist enters into contract with the gallery, which will be the acting agent for the sale of their artwork. Artists may also enter work that is not for sale.
• UWS reserves the right to refuse, upon arrival, any piece for unacceptable quality not discernible in the digital image, improper framing, or damage caused by shipment. The juror’s decision is final.
• Framing:  Accepted paintings must be ready to hang with wire supports.  PAINTINGS MAY BE FLOATED ON A MAT OR MATTED IN THE TRADITIONAL WAY. For this show, mats must be WHITE OR OFF-WHITE; COLORED LINER IS ACCEPTABLE. Please use stable backing material. Simple frames and Plexiglas™ preferred, but not necessary.
