GENERAL INFORMATION FOR ARTISTS

Once selected, nothing accompanying an entry will be returned. Your art is your donation.

  • Artwork must be original and completed within the past 2 years. “Original” means that the work must be from the hand of a single artist; pieces that originate from a workshop or a class under the direction of a teacher are not eligible. For works based on reference photographs, eligibility demands that the artist must have taken the photographs or have obtained written permission from the photographer.

  • Compositions based on published material or other artists’ work are NOT considered original and are not eligible for awards.

  • Be sure that our email addresses (martinisandmatisse@gmail.com or any address ending in clearwaterfreeclinic.org) are not blocked, or you may not receive critical information, receipts, confirmations etc.

  • No artist can win more than one prize.

  • The Martinis + Matisse Art Committee reserves the right to reject work that does not meet the outlined criteria.

  • If mailing your art, we suggest that you send your package using an option that provides you proof of delivery and a tracking number; we are not able to confirm individual deliveries.

  • Online entries are processed as soon as possible, as are credit card payments for guest reservations submitted online.

  • Once an entry has been submitted, no edits, replacements or exchanges will be accepted.

  • Check your spelling carefully including all login information, email addresses etc. Incorrect email addresses may result in the transmission of important information being delayed and/or unsuccessful.

  • Martinis + Matisse assumes all entries are original and are the works of the entrant, with all rights granted therein.

  • Martinis + Matisse and the Clearwater Free Clinic are not liable for any copyright infringement on the part of the entrant and will not become involved in copyright disputes.
