Details

Registration is Friday, June 11, 5 – 8pm, and Saturday, June 12, 8 – 10am. If you cannot make one of these times, you may stop in at the Summerfest office, 69 E. 100 N., on Monday morning, June 10.

Photos must be taken between June 11 and June 16 anywhere in Cache County, Utah, and the sections of Cache Valley that are in Franklin and Bannock Counties in Idaho, up to Red Rock Pass. Maps may be obtained from the Summerfest office, 69 E. 100 N. in Logan, at registration, or online at http://www.logansummerfest.com/get-involved/summerfest-contests.

All art must adhere to Summerfest’s family-friendly guidelines. Summerfest is a family-oriented event. Nude, erotic, occult, graphic and/or violent images will not be considered for this event. Images depicting smoking and drinking are also not acceptable due to our venue, which is a religious site. If a piece is deemed by the staff to violate any of these guidelines, it will not be displayed.

Please keep in mind that local printers may be very busy printing the work of photographers entering the contest. Plan accordingly.

EXIF data is required. Original photos (showing EXIF data) must be emailed to info@logansummerfest.com by noon on Wednesday, June 16 so that date and time of photo can be verified.

Each artist can submit only one photo.

Submit framed photos, ready for hanging (we require a wire—not alligator hangers), Wednesday, June 16 from 10am to noon at the Plein Air and Silent Auction tent/gallery at the festival. All photos must be framed.

Each photographer may enter only one photo. We accept landscape, still life, portrait, action, wildlife, and abstract/digital art.

All entries will be juried on Wednesday, June 16, and displayed at Summerfest, June 17-19, 2021.

Artists may choose to sell their work in the silent auction, which runs from 11am, June 17 to 5pm, June 19, 2021.

You must set the minimum bid amount for your pieces. If your work is sold at Summerfest, it is subject to a 25% gallery fee and Utah sales tax. The tax will be added at the time of sale. A check for 75% of the paid price will be sent to the artist after the buyer has paid. Please take this into consideration when pricing your work for sale.

Unsold artwork must be picked up Saturday, June 19 between 5pm and 8pm (AND NOT BEFORE THEN) or at the Summerfest office throughout June. Special arrangements can be made by calling the office at 435.213.3858. Artwork not picked up within 30 days of the event becomes the property of Summerfest Arts Faire and may be sold to help fund Summerfest operations.
