An annual juried exhibition of current original two-dimensional and three-dimensional visual art, including photography, at Bryn Du Mansion in Granville, Ohio. The exhibition runs March 5–27, 2027 and is free and open to the public. Best in Show receives $1,000, and two additional artists receive Excellence Awards of $500 each. Artists may offer their work for sale or designate it not for sale.

Applicants must be US residents aged at least 18. Submit original two-dimensional or three-dimensional visual artwork, including photography, created within the last five years; previously accepted artwork is ineligible.

Spaces for larger works are extremely limited; contact Bryn Du with size or weight questions before submitting. Installation pieces, video artworks, works requiring electricity, perishable artworks, and age-inappropriate submissions are not accepted. Metal photography is accepted only if the artist prepares the back with hanging wire. Acceptance is at the sole discretion of the Bryn Du Commission; age-inappropriate submissions receive no refund.
