Art show entry deadline Feb. 24

• NWOSU to hold 18th annual art show in March

 

February 5, 2021



The entry deadline for forms to be submitted for the 18th annual Northwestern Oklahoma State University Art Society (NAS) Art Show in the J.W. Martin Library on March 7-26 will be here soon. Forms should be submitted no later than Feb. 24. Artwork should be delivered to the library on March 3 from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.

All Northwestern students, employees, retired employees, and alumni from all campus locations are encouraged to enter.

“We hope that we have a great response to entries from our Ranger family this year after having our show cut short last year because of the pandemic,” Angelia Case, art society sponsor, said. “We think giving our students, current and retired employees and alumni a chance to show off their talents is just what we need at this time.”

NAS has offered prize money to students in the past and will continue to do so this year; however, because of the pandemic club members have not been able to do their normal fundraising to help provide for all prizes leaving them no choice but to reduce the prizes offered.

Prize ribbons will be awarded to all students and non-students winning first through third place in all categories, along with Best of Show and People’s Choice. A $50 cash prize will be awarded to the student winning Best of Show, and the students placing first place in each category will earn $10. Everyone entered in the show is eligible to receive the People’s Choice cash prize of $25.
