ELIGIBILITY: The RMRJE is open to residents of Montana, Wyoming, North Dakota, Colorado, New Mexico, Utah, and Idaho.

ELIGIBLE ART: Oil, acrylic, watercolor, pastels, mixed media, drawings, and small 3-D sculptures are acceptable. No photographs, mixed media with photographs, computer generated artwork, prints, jewelry, or crafts are allowed. The Executive Director has the final decision over the acceptance of non-traditional artwork into the jury process. All works must be original, made by the artist, and executed within the last 5 years. 2-D image size cannot exceed 2’x3’ (excluding frame). 3-D works cannot exceed 3’x3’x6’ or weigh over 50 lbs.

ENTRY FEE: Entry fee is not refundable; $35 for the first 3 entries, $5 for each additional entry.

ACCEPTED ARTWORK: Artists will be notified via email of the juror’s results. Work accepted for the exhibition must be labeled on the back with the entry number, artist name, title, medium, dimensions (height x width x depth), retail price, and date created. 2-D artwork must have a secure wire in the back to be ready to hang. No sawtooth hooks!

IMAGE SUBMISSION: Applications are submitted using the CaFE™ website (www.callforentry.org). Please do not mail or email any part of your application. Images submitted must be in digital, jpeg format, and 300dpi. Do not submit slides, photographs, or the original pieces. Crop out all frames and mats and do not include identifying information (like a signature) directly on the image. Please title all images as follows: Entry Number, Title, and Artist Name (example: 2_Far Off Land_Jane Lane). Make sure that the image quality reflects the original piece as this is the only image that will be considered during the jury selection. The juror and Arts Guild staff reserve the right of refusal if the quality of the delivered work differs from the image submitted. Custom slide shows with special effects cannot be accepted. If you are having technical difficulties or need guidance on how to use the site, check out the quick guides and other resources on the CaFE™ website (CaFe Help).

LIABILITY: The Carbon County Arts Guild & Depot Gallery will take all reasonable precautions to safeguard artwork. Artists may carry their own insurance. The Arts Guild is not responsible for loss or damage incurred during transport of artwork to and from the Guild.

AWARDS: Cash awards are given to 1st, 2nd, 3rd place and People’s Choice. Ribbons will be given for Honorable Mentions.

SALE: All pieces must be for sale. The Arts Guild manages all sales and receives a 40% commission on the retail price.

SHIPPING: Upon notification of acceptance, work may be shipped or hand-delivered. Guild staff will make every effort to save shipping boxes for use in return of artwork. The artist is responsible for all delivery and return packing, insurance, and shipping costs. For help with return shipping, contact the Depot Gallery at the end of the exhibition. All returns will be managed by the local UPS/FedEx outlet at Junction 7. Please do not send additional funds to the Depot Gallery for return art shipping costs. These costs will be handled between the artist and Junction 7.
