Awards and Judging
A panel of three judges will jury the work for the Fine Art Exhibition. Each has been selected for their broad range of competency and knowledge about the artwork being done in today’s world of art. The first step in selecting the work for the 2020 Fine Art Exhibition will be done via electronic submissions. All submitted work will be reviewed by each juror working independently. All work in the Iowa State Fair Fine Art Competition is judged on the basis of the work alone. Adult entries are judged with other pieces in the same media category initially. The criteria of effective composition, skillful use of the media, and evocative power are kept in mind.
