Awards will include Jurors' Choice, which includes a $500 prize; and Audience Choice, determined by visitor votes during the exhibition. The Permanent Collection Acquisition Award is subject to approval by the acquisition committee. 

Work in all media made in the last three years is welcome, provided it wasn't previously exhibited at the museum. Applicants will be notified of acceptance by April 17. Artwork must be delivered to the museum by 5 p.m. in June. The exhibition will run from June 20-Aug. 1. A reception date will be announced.
