On Originality: Any entry that is recognized as a copy will not be hung.  The following definition of original work was composed by professional artist Mary Back of Dubois, WY:

"A direct copy of another's artwork is not acceptable whether the work copied is the actual artwork or a photograph of it published in a magazine or book, and whether or not the size is different.  A direct copy of a postcard or other published photograph is not acceptable, on the grounds that the composition and color scheme are someone else's.  It is acceptable to work from your own photographs, for in that case, you have decided on the composition and chosen the lighting which decides the color scheme.  Within these concepts, we leave it to the conscience of the artist, whether the work he submits is his own work, or the entire creative inspiration of someone else."

Display All works to be hung must be securely wired and ready for display.  All entries must remain on exhibit until the show closes.  Artists who desire to insure their work must make their own arrangements.  The Red Desert Audubon Society and the Lander Art Center will not be responsible in case of loss or damage.  All reasonable care will be taken with entries.  We urge you to use plexiglass instead of glass.
