Show your talents by putting them on

display at the Fremont County Fair. There

are multiple divisions for every skill level,

both in the Fine Arts and in Photography.

For those wishing to enter this year’s

Photography and Fine Arts contest, there

are some simple rules:

1. All artwork and photographs must be

wired and ready to hang in a frame.

There will not be supplies at the fair

to mat, mount, or any other

techniques for an entry (wire and

hardware for framing can be

purchased at your local convenience

or hardware store).

2. All entrants will be required to

complete an entry and liability waiver

which will be available when entries

are submitted. The artist’s name and

phone number must not be on the

front of the piece of art or

photograph. This information may be

on the back.

3. All art and photography must be

your own original work created

within the last two years. Winners

may not enter the same piece more

than once.

4. Entries will be accepted on Saturday

August 4, 2018 from 10:00am -

2:00pm. Late entries will not be

accepted, judged, or displayed. Any

art or photography entered in the fair

in previous years are NOT eligible

for entry again.

5. All artwork and photography in the

exhibit must remain until 5:00pm

sure all entries are kept safe and avoid any

You can find handing hardware at your local

hardware stores.

If you need help You Tube has many

tutorials that show you how to easily attach

wire to the back of your art work(s). Just

type “How to attach a picture frame wire”

and you should find many examples.
