48th Annual Whitewater Valley Art Competition

Originating in 1978, the Whitewater Competition has a history of “open judging”, allowing the public to observe the jurying process and ask the jurors questions about their decisions. In this spirit, prerecorded juried rounds are broadcast on Facebook Live and Zoom with breaks to allow the audience to ask the jurors questions about accepted and declined entries. Jurors will select 50-55 works for the exhibit. All art submissions will be juried electronically. Awards: Over $2,000 in total award money 1st Place: $1,000 in addition to a 2027 Solo Exhibition Invitation 2nd Place: $500 3rd Place: $250 Honorable Mentions: Three (3) $100 awards Chancellor’s Choice Purchase Award: Purchased piece will be included in the Indiana University East Public Art Collection.
