A photo or a DVD/CD of the artwork must be included for identification purposes and returned with the application before the deadline date, August 27.
Artists may submit up to three entries in any medium. The City of Palmdale will notify artists if submitted work(s) are approved and accepted for showing.

It would be helpful to post the link for the application, it took some searching around before I finally found it…

It says:
“Entries may be in “any medium”, not larger than 16” x 24”, and ready to hang. The artist’s name, name of the piece and any additional information about the “painting” must be on the back.” Does this mean photography can or cannot be entered? It would be nice if they gave more information…There is nothing that tells what they are awarding as prizes for winners either. It would be nice to know and maybe add some incentive to enter…Just a suggestion

Considering it also says “any medium” I think using the term “painting” there was just a flub. I don’t see why photography would be completely out of the question, and I mean it never hurts to enter anyway.
Max Aquino says
Is this for painting only or photography as well?
