For Film and Animation: Can I send an outside link?

YES. Our preference for online submissions is Google Drive, but a Vimeo link with password and download capabilities is also welcome. We must be able to screen your work AND download without restrictions. YouTube videos will not be accepted. The submitter is responsible for ensuring that their link and password are active. In the event of a password or screener URL change after submitting, email us immediately. 

​

How many times can I submit?

One submission per artist. If you decide to change or edit your artwork before the deadline, please email us directly. Teachers may submit one entry for their collaborative class project and one entry for their own art.

​

I do not live in Loudoun County. Can I submit?

We currently are only accepting artwork from residents of Loudoun County, but we plan to expand to other counties for our next project. If you attend school in Loudoun County, or you are an art teacher who teaches in Loudoun County but you live elsewhere, you may submit.

​

Can we submit as a team?

The One Planet, One Community programming team along with select outside adjudicators will choose works that represent the diversity of Loudoun County artists and mediums.

Will I be notified where my artwork will be presented?

​

What type of art do you accept?

Photography, traditional 2D art, digital art, film and animation.

Is there a time limit for films and animation?

YES, no longer than 60 seconds to be considered for the projected performance film. If your film runs longer, you may include the time of the segment you wish to use. Ex: From 1:03 to 2:03. We will attempt to have links to full videos available to the audience on that day.

 

Do you have any rating limitations?

YES, all art must be family and community friendly. If we feel your artwork does not fall into this category, you will be notified.
