RULES FOR CHILDREN’S ARTWORK AT COUNTY FAIR: Exhibiting artwork at the Grant County Fair is an exciting activity for children. Parents, please help your children present their art in the proper format to be considered. 1. Pictures must be matted with a purchased mat or piece of heavy construction paper cut 2 inches larger on all sides. 2. The art work is to be firmly placed behind the mat with strong tape. 3. Another piece of cardboard cut the same size as mat have two holes where string or wire can be placed and firmly secured to the board. The board is then glued to the back of the mat (string can be knotted on each end to hold se- curely). 4. After completing the steps above, you will have 3 layers - mat, art work and cardboard back. (Art will be hung with T pins through the mat if there is not a permanent wire or hanger on the back) 5. Dimensional art work (standing out from the surface) must be mounted on a white Bristol board in a permanent manner. This type of work my not be suitable for matting. 6. Please allow at least a week before the fair to prepare the artwork. The people accepting the art work at the fair do not have the materials available to get it ready.
