Fine Arts Exhibition adds online entry

DES MOINES — The Fine Arts Exhibition at the Iowa State Fair is one of the country’s premier competitions, drawing exhibitors of all ages from all over Iowa.

Any interested Iowan may submit their work to be juried, and if accepted, they will be eligible for the prizes offered in any one of 13 media categories. The best of show award has been increased this year to $1,000 and prizes in each adult media category amount to $150 each. Children from ages 3 through high school are juried independently of adult entrants. Young people from ages of 9 to 13 are eligible for trophies and youth from 14 through high school are eligible for prize money.
