  • The Hoosier Salon retains a 40% commission on works that are sold.
     
  • Works must be original and produced by the entrant.

  • Works must not have been executed in class or under the supervision of an instructor.
     
  • Works must not be straight copies of paintings or published photographs.
     
  • The accuracy of all identification information is the responsibility of the entrant: applicant’s name, title of work, media, dimensions and price are final at the time of entry. Check your grammar and spelling, verify OUTSIDE dimensions, and ensure that sale prices are within your current market range.
     

Failure to meet these rules will result in rejection. The Hoosier Salon reserves the right to disqualify and revoke awards of any entry in violation of the rules.

Delicate items will be shown under glass. All 3D art that is intended to hang must include a museum-quality mount adequately accounting for the work’s weight.
