Submission fees are non-refundable and do not guarantee acceptance or an award. By submitting, the artist grants NOMA Gallery permission to reproduce submitted artwork images for the competition, online exhibition, website, social media, newsletters, press, promotional graphics, and future promotion of NOMA exhibitions and participating artists. Artists retain copyright to their work.
