How to Enter
The entry fee is fifteen ($15.00) dollars for up to three (3) pieces.  All entries must be 35-mm slides or jpegs of original artwork, conceived and created by the entrant. Odd-sized glass or metal slide frames will not be accepted, and slides will not be returned (so have a duplicate made for your own files).  You may enter work in any and all categories; you may enter up to three (3) slides. The entry(ies) must be accompanied by an entry form (see below).
     All notified entrants should make arrangements to drop off their accepted pieces to Eileen Coladarci (203-744-1949) during the week of October 3rd.  The “Meet the Artists” Reception is Tuesday, October 11 from 6:30 PM until 9:00 PM.  The show will be taken down October 23.
     A limited number of display cases and pedestals are available. Entrants may provide their own case or pedestal if desired. All work must be hanger ready. Eileen Coladarci will handle all aspects of the hanging and is available to answer or find answers to all questions. Each entrant may submit up to three (3) pieces of art.
Preparing Your Slides
Slides should be labeled individually and legibly and should not be taped together. Jpegs must include title and dimensions, note the category you are entering, and the medium you used to create the work.  Each submitted slide must include the following information: a) On the front, note the category you are entering, and the medium you used to create the work ("front" is the side that faces you when you hold it up to the light to be viewed). b) Also on the front, print the artwork's title, size, and top and bottom directions. c) On the back, write your name, address and phone number. Only properly marked slides will be accepted.
Entry Form
Entries must be accompanied by an official entry form with an entry fee check.  You may mail all your entries in one large envelope as long as slides for each category are grouped together in smaller envelopes inside.  You may also enter by email but please follow up with a phone call  (203) 744-1949 to ensure receipt.
Deadline
All entries must be postmarked no later than August 29, 2005. All entrants will be notified by September 9, 2005.
Judging and Notification
Entries will be pre-judged by a selection committee. All properly prepared entries will be viewed and judged. The decision of the committee will be the final decision.
