   2. All accepted work must be framed and wired to a professional standard, delivered ready to hang. Wire should be affixed to the frame using D-ring or strap hangers in one smooth line. Please make sure that the picture hanging wire used is an appropriate strength for the weight of your work. Framed work should be secured using offset clips and screws (works on canvas) or using points (flat works with backing board). ABSOLUTELY NO TAPE, DUCT TAPE, MASKING TAPE, OR OTHER UNSTABLE METHODS FOR SECURING WORK TO ITS FRAME.

      • Accepted work may be refused because of framing.

      • Unframed accepted work may be presented with finished, painted gallery-wrapped edges, mounted on foamboard or some sort of backing, and wired for hanging.
