Submission and Review of Work
Teachers interested in submitting student portfolios for review should deliver the portfolios to the Waterworks by 4pm, Friday, April 25. Please be sure each portfolio is labeled with the following:
- The art teacher’s name, email, and preferred contact telephone number.
- The student’s name (sealed in an envelope), parents’ names, mailing addresses, and telephone numbers
- The names of the principal and the assistant principal for curriculum, email addresses, school name and full mailing address.
The above contact information will be used to inform all parties of the student’s portfolio submission for consideration of this prestigious award The portfolios will undergo a blind review by the WVAC Executive Director to dismiss the concern of bias. Announcement of the winner will be made by telephone to the student, then the art teacher, followed by a broadcast email to all high school art teachers and high school principals by May 5, 2008. Teachers should pick up portfolios by Saturday, May 10, 2008, before 4pm. The award recipient’s teacher will receive new Guidelines.
The portfolio of labeled original work , should include:
- 6-10 samples of 2-dimensional or 3-dimensional work, or a mix of each
- A typed list of work with the Name of Student, School, and Art Teacher at the top of the page. And, for each piece submitted, list the title, size, medium, and year created. The works need not be mounted or matted at this point. However, if the student is deemed the award winner, it is expected that Waterworks will professionally mount, mat, and frame the pieces. Any previously framed works will be removed from the frame and returned to the student with matting intact.
- The works are to be collected by the student the week of September 8-13, between the hours of 10am-4pm.
Please note: The WVAC Executive Director will select the work from the winning student’s portfolio that will hang in the 2008 Dare To Imagine exhibition.
