The judging will be based on artistic skill, creativity and overall presentation. Images must be appropriate for display. Any images that are obscene, disturbing or otherwise inappropriate will not be considered. CHAP has sole discretion as to what constitutes inappropriate content.
CHAP will review entries and choose artwork to be displayed at the 2010 CHAP Homeschool Convention. These participants will then be notified and are responsible for bringing their artwork to the 2010 CHAP Homeschool Convention, located at the Farm Show Complex in Harrisburg, on Friday morning, May 7, 2010, before the Convention begins. The final judging will take place at the Convention. The winners will be decided by judges appointed by CHAP, and all decisions of the judges are final. The winners will be announced at the Friday evening ceremony. The artwork will remain on display in the convention hall until the conclusion of the Convention. The artwork may be picked up by the participant at the close of the Convention. Any items not claimed will become the property of CHAP.
* Mounting is the way a print is attached to a support board. Matting is the paperboard window which surrounds the print.
