This is a juried show and the Committee will look for quality and originality when reviewing all submissions.  You are required to submit the following photos with your application: three of your product, two of you working on your craft and one of your display.  You may mail them or email them to alumni@luzerne.edu.  Be sure to identify your photos that you mail in by writing your name on the back for proper identification or if you email them in use your name in the subject line. To be considered for the first round of jurying, applications must be received by Friday, July 24, 2015.  Applications received after the date will only be considered if space permits. Please understand that participation in past years does not guarantee a space in this year’s show.
