FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Who needs to submit entry forms? 
An online Entry Form must be submitted for every piece of artwork that will be submitted to the Pearl for final adjudication. (In many cases, students’ artwork will first be submitted to their school or school district for pre-adjudication, and only the resulting selections will need to submit Entry Forms.)

How many pieces can my school submit?
  • Public Schools: 
    Each public school district may submit up to 25 entries. The district is responsible for adjudicating their students’ work (from all campuses) first in order to arrive at the maximum of 25 entries. The district may determine the number of entries per school division as long as the total number of submissions to the museum is 25 or less.
  • Private Schools and Home School Students:
    Each home school teacher and private school may submit up to 20 entries; forms should be submitted for all 20 entries. Private and Home School artwork submissions will then be pre-adjudicated by the contest judges, and up to 25 entries from the combined Private and Home School ‘District’ will go on to be judged in Final Adjudication.

When should online Entry Forms be submitted? 
Entry Forms must be submitted electronically by end of day Friday, March 12, 2021. 

How do I submit photos of my students' artwork?
Photos of student artwork will be submitted after Entry Forms are submitted. On Friday, March 19, the museum will send each school or school district a spreadsheet with assigned numbers for each entry. Schools will need to label artwork photos according to these assigned numbers, and submit all photos via Google Drive by end of day Friday, March 26. (The link to the Google Drive folder will be emailed along with the spreadsheets on March 19.)

Do I need to collect signatures for each entry?
Signatures from the student, parent/guardian, teacher, and principal are only required to be submitted for students whose work is selected as a contest winner. The Signatures Form can be downloaded by clicking the button below.
A physical copy of this form, complete with signatures, should be submitted when the winning artwork is brought to the museum on April 6-7. All schools will be notified on April 2 about the status of their entries.
