CONFERENCE ART CONTEST
The East Husker Conference Art Contest shall be held on the Wednesday of the 41st week of the NSAA standardized calendar.
The host school for the East Husker Conference Art Contest shall be determined from the conference activity rotation schedule (SEE APPENDIX A). The contest will be held at the Nielsen Center in West Point or another centrally located facility determined by the host school.
A Host Committee shall be formed annually to assist the host art instructor in organizing and hosting the conference art show. This committee will consist of the previous host school art instructor, current host school art instructor, and the next host school art instructor. If necessary, an extra person can be added to the committee if the committee lacks experience in directing the art show. The Host Committee is charged with addressing issues that arise from the art show, providing the judges with a copy of the EHC show rules, and drafting & communicating any potential changes in art show by-laws to the superintendents.

ELIGIBILITY
Any student currently enrolled in an East Husker Conference school as a 9-12 student.
SPECIFICATIONS
Each school is limited to eight entries in each category. However, one student may enter one or more in the category. Entries should be original works of art. Each school shall email a list of entries by noon on the Monday of the week of the Art Contest to the host Activities Director.
FEES
Fifty cents (50¢) per entry will be billed to your school after the show. The fees will be used to help offset expenses associated with the art contest.
TAGS
Entry tag sheets can be downloaded from the Conference Website, completed, and attached to each piece of artwork (each tag needs to be properly folded to ensure that only the category, title & source show for judging). The source citation part of the tag must be filled out for all "Copy" & "Altered" works and needs to identify specifically where they obtained the original image. Media sources must be specific (original artist's or photographers names, title of piece, as well as the web address of the image. Simply marking "Internet" or "Google" is not sufficient).
PRESENTATION
All entries must be checked in and hung by a school representative (art instructor and students preferred). Art pieces will be arranged by the categories below to allow side-by-side judging. Schools must bring their own nails, hammers, staple guns, etc. All work must be ready to hang or exhibit.
Once critiques are completed, displayed art pieces will be taken back to their own schools to be locally displayed as preferred by the local school.
DISPLAY PANELS
Each school must supply a pair of 4'x8' hinged plywood or particle-board panels. Panels must be capable of supporting a staple, nail, or screw; and must be strong enough to safely hang heavier framed pieces of art. Panels must be on site no later than 9:30 a.m. the day of the show. Please hang artwork starting at the hinged edge of the panels.
AGREEMENT
No works may be withdrawn from the show early. The East Husker Conference is not responsible for accidents.
JUDGES
Two judges will be hired by the conference secretary or designee. The hosting school should secure a copy of the contract from the secretary. Payment will be in accordance with the signed contract. The judges will be hired in the fall of the year for the next year's show. Every attempt should be made to hire different judges from one year to the next, and to have judges with different areas of expertise.
A copy of the results shall be sent to the conference secretary.
ART CONTEST CATEGORIES
Categories with less than 10 entries may be merged into another closely related category at the Host Committee’s Discretion.
ORIGINALITY
Art teachers must be vigilant in making a distinction about the difference between blatant copying and inventive incorporation of borrowed motifs for a creative statement.
