The Guild has the right to reject objectionable and non-conforming images.

Entries created in collaboration with another artist are acceptable. However, the entry will be considered as one entry for only ONE artist and will count towards the total allowable entries for that artist. Additionally, in the event the collaborative entry is accepted and receives an award, only one medal will be presented. Only that artist's name will be displayed online. However, for the live Gallery show in Shrewbury, including both names may be considered.

An artist may submit a multi-part entry, such as a diptych or triptych, as in telling a story, or related subject matter. In this case, the group will count as a single entry, will be displayed together with one title tag, will have one sale price for the complete group, and cannot be separated for sale. The group together must not exceed 48″ on any side, including the frames. The JPG submitted must be a photo of the group together.

All entries must be submitted online as digital jpg image files. The judges will review the digital jpg images to select those suitable for conditional acceptance to exhibit in the show. The final award judging will be based on the actual artwork on display in the exhibit. Up to 3 works may be submitted. Based on the judges’ decision and subject to exhibit space availability, all of your entries may be accepted.

If during registration for the 2025 EyeSights Show, a non-member elects to become a Guild member, the membership will be good for one year. See our website www.guildofcreativeart.org for membership details and privileges.

Initial judging will be based on the JPG images submitted. By February 10 the judges will have made their decisions regarding which entries are conditionally accepted into the exhibit. Final acceptance is contingent on the JPG you submitted being an accurate representation of the work you deliver, have excellent print quality, and meet all of the requirements described in this Prospectus.

Please note: The Guild of Creative Art specifically disclaims any liability for the loss, damage, or theft of any artwork exhibited or stored on its premises. Artists are responsible for ensuring their own work from delivery to pick-up and return to artist.
