TERMS & CONDITIONS
Note that The Art of Education University doesn’t promise that every submission will be accepted into the Palette Perspective’s Art Show. Instead, only artists selected by the AOEU jury will be eligible for show entry. In the event there are joint winners during the awards round the prizes will be split evenly among winners. Similarly, if a studio course does not receive enough entries to be judged fairly within that category alone, it will be considered alongside other categories with sufficient entries.
Artists who have been selected for entry into Palette Perspectives will be notified of their selection in February 2025.
By submitting your artwork you agree to allow the Art of Education University to use your images both online for the duration of the 2025 Palette Perspectives Art Show as well as for marketing and promotional purposes.
