Rules for entering the Arthurian Arts Faire (2006)

Visual Arts

Artwork entries should keep in mind the traditional materials of the middle ages. Materials used should have been available to a medieval British artificer, monk or scribe between the years AD 500 and AD 1200. Suggested period materials include tempera, ink, relief woodcut, stone printing, rubbing, wax, vellum, parchment, paper, clay, stone and glass tile mosaic, wood, charcoal, gold, silver, weaving, textiles, etc. Modern equivalents of period materials will be accepted, but please do not use obviously anachronistic materials like oil and acrylic paint.

Art Show Divisions:

  1. K-2nd grade
  2. 3rd-5th grade
  3. 6th - 8th grade
  4. 9th-12th grade
  5. Adult

Rules for Entry:

  • There is no entry fee. Our staff is entirely volunteer, and we will attempt to display all submitted artworks properly prepared for display. If entered artwork exceeds the display area available, then the show will be jurried for display purposes.
  • All works must be original artwork centered on any subject pertaining to Arthurian legend. Historical visual references can be used.
  • Artists may submit a maximum of two works each, and each entry should be the original work of a single artist.
  • Maximum size in any dimension is 24 inches including display materials like mats and mounting boards. Maximum weight is 15 lbs.
  • No syndicated or copyrighted characters may be used, and no computer aided or copy machine entries will be accepted.
  • Fill out an Entry Form completely for each piece of art and firmly attach it to back of flat work. For three dimensional work, attach the entry form in such a way that it will not become separated from the artwork during normal handling.
  • An Artwork Inventory sheet must accompany all entries. This is used by our volunteers and is to ensure that all artwork is returned together.
  • Artwork will be judged on the appearance of historical authenticity, as well as the use of available materials in depiction of the Arthurian theme.
  • The King Arthur Faire reserves the right to use images of entries in promotional materials. Originals will be returned as per our return instructions.
