  Regional Show Information

​Attention Regional Show participants!
Because the state show will be online this year, we are recommending that all artists take quality photos (.jpg files) of their work prior to their Regional Show, especially if you will be placing glass in front of your work when framing. Tips for taking photographs of your artwork can be found below.

​If your Regional Show is digital, please use the button below to complete an entry form and then submit the photos of your artwork by emailing
fineart@deannaskokan.com. The Entry Form button is a digital version of the paper Entry Form, which goes into a spreadsheet for your region. When submitting photos of your artwork, you will be placing them into an email to Deanna Skokan, who will put them into a slide show for the judge's viewing. Please number the artwork to match your entry form and put the title of your work next to the number.
