Mission Hill Building, C203 (Photo Shoot Room) Drop-Off: 8–11am Pick-Up:4–7pm Three artists will be selected for a substantial award and the opportunity to exhibit their work at SMFA. Eligibility: All full-time SMFA students are eligible to apply. Details: - Artists must submit three (3) works - Jurors will make their first cut on the basis of the three pieces you submit (consistent strength of artist) - Final selection will be of one piece per artist - Three (3) Dana Pond Award winners will be selected - While the award is in painting, jurors are encouraged to interpret this category as fluidly as they wish (so you may choose to do the same) - Award recipients will receive a substantial cash prize and their work will be included in the "Graduating Students and Award Recipients" exhibition opening May 2012 - You must absolutely respect the drop-off and pick-up times. There is a very narrow window for the jury to make its selections, and unfortunately we cannot accept work outside of this time frame under any circumstances without damaging the integrity of the process.
