A juried art competition and exhibition presented by the Alexandria Museum of Art. Artists age 18 or older may submit original work in any medium, including video and experimental media. The page lists application deadlines of May 29 for mailed or emailed materials and June 2 for hand-delivered materials, but does not state their year.

Applicants must be over 18. Work may be in any medium, must be original, and must have been completed in 2013 or later. Artists may enter up to four pieces. The fee is $35 for two works and $20 for each additional work. Submission materials include digital images and a maximum 100-word artist statement. The page lists a 500MB maximum per image and accepted GIF, JPG, and PNG files, while the detailed rules require 5-by-7-inch JPG images at 300 dpi and specified labeling. One image is allowed per 2-D entry and up to three per 3-D entry. Video must be submitted on DVD and may not exceed 30 minutes. Work may not exceed 7 feet in any direction or 200 pounds. CDs and DVDs are retained in the museum's permanent collection files. Entrants authorize reproduction for publicity and agree that selected work will be available for exhibition without substitution. Selected work had to arrive prepaid by August 25, 2014 with a completed prepaid return-address label; failure to follow the rules and deadlines results in disqualification.
