JUDGING:
Our judge, Natasha Egan, will view all of the entries, being projected with an ultra high-resolution digital projector in a very well organized manner. Once she has made her selections for the Show, the artists will all be notified via email on June 27, 2010. Each artist whose art is selected will arrange to print and frame those selected pieces. The "ready to hang" framed prints must be delivered to San Diego by July 28, 2010. So, if your work is selected, you'll have four weeks to prepare and deliver your framed art.
PRESENTATION:
Selected works need to be framed or have some other form of presentation device and arrive here "ready to hang". Presentation is very important in our view, so we want to encourage you to professionally prepare your art for the exhibition and sales.

FINAL ACCEPTANCE:
Final acceptance of entries in the Art of Photography Show exhibition is up to the Curator's discretion after viewing the delivered framed prints. If a print does not match the appearance of the JPEG entry, or if the print quality or the framing (presentation device) are not suitable quality for gallery presentation, the Curator may ask the artist to replace whichever element is not suitable. This is going to be an excellent show, so we desire that all of the art be presented in a top-notch manner.
SALES:
Exhibited work will be available for sale (unless the artist designates certain entries NFS). The price for each framed print is entirely up to each artist to decide. The Art of Photography Show will retain a commission of 35% on all sales that occur during the exhibit or which occur later as a direct result of the exhibit. The balance will be mailed to the artist.
INSURANCE:
The Art of Photography Show carries no insurance for loss or damage to artwork in the gallery or in transit, nor assumes any liability for same. However, every precaution will be taken for the safety of the exhibited work. Artists should provide their own insurance coverage.
SHIPPING:
Entries which are accepted for exhibition must be shipped to San Diego (or delivered in-person) by July 28, 2010. Entries must be packaged securely in a sturdy shipping box, even if the artist delivers his or her work in-person. Received work that is not sold must be shipped out at the artist's expense, with shipping arranged by the artist (or picked up in-person) by December 7, 2010. We'll retain all of the packaging box/materials in which the artist's work is sent to us. If the work does not sell, we will re-use the packaging to send the work back to the artist.
