Feel free to explain why the work they are doing is important and how they are going to help others with their art. MAX DIMENSIONS: 8.5 x 11 inches
3) SUBMIT ARTWORK: Collect all of the artwork. Scan or photograph each artwork (see size requirements). SUBMIT all of the art and permission forms to us via the on-line link we sent you. (Your students get to keep their original artwork. We just need a digital file.) Done! SUBMISSION DEADLINE: OCTOBER 1st of each year
FEATURES OF THE YOUNG ARTISTS PROGRAM FOR GROUPS:
- ALL teachers/group leaders will receive SPECIAL RECOGNITION in our book and on-line!
- EVERY child’s artwork will be featured in our on-line gallery and book for FREE as long as the permission forms have been completed.
- NO HASSLE FOR YOU! There is no money for you to collect. Instead, we will contact you and the parents individually once everything has been submitted to confirm the receipt of each submission. The special exhibition book, SAVE THE CORD FOUNDATION’S YOUNG ARTISTS 2012, will be made available in November.
- Please note: By participating as a registered member of your group in the Young Artists Program, a child may have more than one entry on-line and/or in the book. For example, a child may participate through your art class but also sign up as an individual (through their parents/guardian) and enter another artwork. The same artwork may NOT be entered more than once in this circumstance. The child must create a new artwork for each entry. Please REMIND parents and children of this rule.
