ENTRY LIMITS:

Over 800 entries were displayed in the 2003 show. We are very pleased by the number of participants, but the task of mounting such a large show is daunting. Because NCTC has limited space and resources, we hope to reduce the number of entries in the 2006 exhibition. Please read the ENTRY LIMITS carefully:

Grades K-2, 3-5, 6-8, 9-10, 11-12:

• Each school may submit a maximum of three entries from each grade within a division. It is suggested that a mini-art show be held at the class or school level to select qualified entries.

We encourage teachers to hold an exhibition at their school by which finalists can be selected for the NCTC Art Show.

Home schools and individuals: One entry per student per grade may be submitted.

Entry Requirements: There is NO Entry Fee for K-12. Please click on the Youth Division link above for more information regarding requirements and eligibilty.
