Some small changes in the categories and definitions have been made to the JKMAS this year. We will still have the same three age groupings for Youth, Adult, and Professional. This year though we will have a total of seven categories, six of which will be judged. All Sandhills area artists are welcome to participate. All works must be of original thought and creation by the artist submitting. All artists should submit their own work. Any works submitted on behalf of another person will automatically be entered into the Exhibition category and will not be judged. Photography, Post-Processed Photography, Paintings, and Drawings are all required to be ready to be hung securely. Some Mixed Media and Textiles will also be required to be ready to hang when applicable. If your piece is smaller and on flat paper, you should mount it on stock card or thicker board with a two inch border, so that string can be taped on it to be hung or secured in some fashion (like tape or staples) to a display board or wall, and potentially to tape a ribbon on it, if you win a prize. Sculptures will be displayed on a flat surface, table, or display area.
