Accepted pieces will be displayed at The Columbus Metropolitan Main Library in the Humanities Fine Arts and Recreation Department from August through November 2006. An award of $1,000 will be presented to best in show selected through a People’s Choice vote and award of $500 will be presented to best in show through Juror’s Choice. Cash awards are provided by Friends of the Library.
The juried show is open to all living residents of Central Ohio (Franklin and surrounding counties) 18 years of age or older. Entrants must be registered in the Ohio Online Visual Artist Registry. There is no entry fee. Images (up to six) must be submitted on CD or as slides. Deadline to apply is May 31, 2006.
