Things to Note
Wish to submit more than 10 artworks? With our juried artwork competition, there is no limit!
We are looking forward to multiple entries from our art enthusiasts, as they help the jury in making a sound decision and better assessing the artistic style, technique, and other important parameters. The jury will be evaluating the entire set of submissions in case of multiple entries. TERAVARNA always aims to bridge the creative community with international success and prestige, and with this belief, it strides forward in empowering creators and ensuring that the mutual journey is an everlasting one. Returning artists are always welcome to our international platform, as we aim to build a community where artists take the center stage in all our initiatives.
If you submit your work on materials other than stretched canvas, you will need to frame it for exhibition. Regarding prints, they should be matted, with backing boards, and sealed in clear plastic sleeves. If needed, we can handle the framing and presentation at a decent cost.
Creators are responsible for shipping & insurance of their original works. Once the winners are announced, we’ll share the packing and labeling instructions. Please note that size restrictions may apply due to limited wall space.
After the exhibition, artists can either have their unsold works returned to them at their own costs or leave them with us to be transported to our gallery storage in LA, USA. Artists would pay for the cost of transportation, though.
P.S.: TERAVARNA does not guarantee cash prizes for participants in any of its competitions. Only creators chosen by an independent jury from the pool of applicants will have the opportunity to showcase their work at the fair.
