Artwork must be the original creation of one student. Find out if there is a restricted number of works of art a student can submit. Your state may have rules regarding maximum student submissions. Judging Three judges is usually an adequate number for a panel. Look for people in your community with expertise and background in the arts.
Judges are unpaid volunteers.
Although teachers can be excellent judges, many times it is difficult for them to be away from school. Consider your staff at school, local university, or art museums as resources. Also consider retired teachers, librarians, private music teachers, local artists, and journalists. Send a letter confirming the judging location, date, and time. Confirm with a phone call close to the date.
