http://www.govst.edu/iccje-entry-form/

Submission deadline is February 15, 2021 (by 11:59 p.m.) so make sure everything is filled out and jpegs emailed to artsgrad@govst.edu

Eligibility: Open to students currently enrolled in an Illinois Community or Junior College and their artwork that was completed from August 2018 to present.

Specifications: Each student artist may submit up to three original works in any medium that is appropriate for general audiences. Because this is a virtual exhibit, the image of your work is what we will display, so make it a good image: use good lighting, use a plain background, crop out visual clutter, ask your teacher or search online for tutorials on how to photograph your artwork. Also, because we are using a digital platform online gallery, 3D work (sculpture, ceramics, etc.) may only be displayed as a singular 2D image; this should not prevent students from submitting 3D work, but some preference will be made for 2D work this year to create the best exhibition.

Accepted Works: All artwork accepted for the exhibition must be appropriate for general audiences.

Fine Print: Drop Off/ Pick Up - (Does not apply for 2021 Virtual Exhibit)

Fees Sales/Commissions: There is no entry fee. All sales inquiries will be forwarded directly to the artist. No commissions will be taken from sales. Work does not have to be for sale to be exhibited in the show.

Liabilities and Insurance: (Does not apply for 2021 Virtual Exhibit)

Publicity: By submitting an entry form the artist agrees to all conditions stated here and of the Visual Arts Gallery at Governors State University. The artist also agrees to release images of the artwork for publicity and cataloging purposes.

Notification: Artists will be notified via email whether or not the juror selected their submissions. Please make sure your email information is accurate and an email address that is in use.

Thank you for your participation and for sharing your best work for this exhibition - we can't do it without you!
