Works are accepted in 12 categories ranging from Drawing, and Printing to Sculpture and Ceramics. Each school may submit up to 20 pieces of artwork. The work is judged by the High School Art Instructors. No Instructor can vote for work created by their students. Gold and silver all-conference medals are awarded to the top two works in each category.
There is also an award for what is selected as the “Best of School” for each of the six conference schools. A guest judge selects the “Best of Show” from all of the works entered.
