SELECTION PROCESS AND CRITERIA

There shall be three Judges. The decision of the Judges will be final. Selection will be based solely on the merit and presentation of submission.

Paintings, drawings or photographs must be mounted on board, or if on canvas, mounted on a stretcher. Work should not have been previously published.

COWBOY CRAFTS

Cowboy crafts must be usable by cowboys, or their horses. Examples include saddles, bridles, bits, spurs and items braided in rawhide or horsehair.

The standards used in judging entries are high. Entries which fail to directly address the subject of our BC Cowboy Heritage will not be considered.
