Each entry must be original in concept, design, and execution and may not violate U.S. copyright laws. Any entry that has been copied from an existing photo or image (including a painting, graphic, or advertisement) that was created by someone other than the student is a violation of these rules and will not be accepted.

Reception will be in April. Letters will go to students and parents with detailed information in February or early March.
The artwork will be framed and installed by professionals.
Suitability Guidelines
As outlined in these guidelines, the final decision regarding the suitability of all artwork for the Ohio House of Representatives Student Art Exhibition will be made by lead staffers of the Ohio House of Representatives, the Ohio Arts Council, and Ohio Art Education Association. It is not the intent to censor any artwork, although we do wish to avoid artwork that is potentially inappropriate for display in this highly traveled area of the Vern Riffe Center for Government and the Arts.
