The panel of Juries are 7 locals chosen by invitation. They are drawn from a pool of gallery owners, professional artists and Rochester community members. Submitted images will be displayed along with your brief description of your work, with no mane attached. All images in a particular category are previewed; scoring takes place during a second, in-depth viewing. Jurors individually score each entry on a scale from one to five.

The first prizes in each category will receive the financial award on the reception at G-24 art gallery.
You'll be invited to exhibit your art at G-24 for a month and then at 125Live for another month. After that your art will return to be picked up at G-24. You'll have 2 weeks to pick up your art
