THIS YEAR'S AWARDS

This is a national competition open to all artists 21 years of age and over. Artwork that has been exhibited at the BFAC Juried Show in the past is not eligible to be entered in the Juried Show.  Original artwork must not be older than 3 years except in the case of bronze sculptures.

Original 2- and 3-dimensional art only. No photography, prints, or computer-generated artwork will be accepted.

Boundary measurement of framed art shall not exceed 200 inches.  Boundary measurement is determined by adding the height and width measurements together and multiplying by 2.

• For example: 24"x30" framed painting would equal a 108 inch boundary.
• 24 + 30 = 54 x 2 = 108"
• Measurements must be rounded up to the nearest whole number.

The following are media types allowed in the competition:  oil, watercolor, scratchboard, acrylic, gouache, alkyd, tempera, mixed media, pastel, pencil, pen and ink, aquatint, fiber, bronze, wood, glass and ceramic will be accepted.  If you have a question regarding your media, please email us.

All entry submissions must be submitted on our website via the online form by 9:00pm CDT on Friday, May 31, 2024. All entries are timestamped and absolutely no exceptions will be granted whatsoever.

Using our REGISTRATION FORM, please submit one JPG/JPEG/PNG image of 5 megabytes or larger. This requirement will allow your artwork to be large enough to appear clearly in our catalog. No images with frames showing will be accepted.

A completed REGISTRATION FORM and a non-refundable $25.00 (U.S. funds) entry fee must accompany each entry.  Submit as many entries as you wish; however, each submission must have a separate entry fee paid.  Fees can be paid with any major debit or credit card.  Cash and check entry fees will not be accepted.

All entrants will receive a notification email on or before Friday, June 21, 2024. Please make sure you have our email (info@breckenridgefineart.org) in your contacts so that our submission confirmation email and the notification email do not go into your junk/spam folder.

The BFAC prefers entries that are for sale. Please state a price reflecting current market value for your artwork. For any artwork sold, the BFAC shall retain twenty-five percent (25%) of the selling price as commission and shall remit seventy-five percent (75%) of the selling price to the artist. Any “Not for Sale” entries should be clearly marked “NFS” with the insured value entered in the registration form and included on the back of artwork. The BFAC assumes reproduction rights for promotional purposes only. If a piece is sold between entry and notification, the piece is still eligible to compete in the show.
