Holland Marsh Centennial Art Contest

Participants will be asked to agree with the following:

• Artists may submit one or two works up to 36" x 36".

• Accepted works will be displayed in the Bradford West Gwillimbury Public Library (the Library) from October 5-November 2.  Artists are responsible for dropping off their artwork October 3-4, 2025. 
• Accepted artwork must remain on display for the duration of the exhibit. Removing your work early may disqualify you from awards.
• All works will be juried. Awards are given at the discretion of the adjudicators. The decisions of the adjudicators will be final.
• If participants in the Adult Artist category wish to sell artwork through the South Simcoe Arts Council, please indicate the price on the application form. Works not for sale must be marked NFS.

• The artist's name and title of the piece must be on the back of each piece. Three-dimensional art should have a label securely fastened so it is out of sight (if possible) when placed on display.
