There is a $25 dollar entry fee associated with this competition, which covers up to three works of art. Payment is processed through a separate, university-sponsored payment site. All submissions must represent completed works of art. No incomplete works, conceptual works, or project proposals will be considered. Work must be suitable for outdoor installation and must: Be structurally sound and able to be secured to a concrete pad or lawn surface with anchor bolts or similar devices. Take into consideration the safety of the audience. Be capable of withstanding adverse weather conditions including but not limited to high winds, temperature extremes (both high and low), heavy rain, hail storms, etc. Be able to withstand a high traffic, public walking environment. Be substantially maintenance free during the exhibition period. The artist must describe on the entry submission form how the sculpture will be securely mounted to a concrete pad or lawn surface or if there are other requirements. It is the artist’s responsibility to deliver the sculpture to the specified area of Jule Collins Smith Museum grounds and secure it properly to its mounts. Out of the Box will provide limited equipment and supervision for the placement of the chosen sculptures. It will be the responsibility of the artist to supply any specialty tools that may be needed for installation. If a crane or hoist is needed, it is the artist’s responsibility to notify JCSM by August 1, 2017, so arrangements can be made. Sculpture must be installed by September 15, 2017. Any sculpture that cannot be installed by the designated date will be disqualified. All accepted sculpture must be removed by October 15, 2018. Any sculpture not removed by this date will be considered abandoned and will become the property of JCSM, unless other arrangements have been made between the artist and JCSM. Artists may sell their work during the competition period, and JCSM will take no commission; however, the work must remain on site for the duration of the exhibition. Auburn University will provide insurance for the term of display. By submitting to Out of the Box, the artist agrees to comply with all rules and requirements.
