Every entry must be accompanied by a scientific illustration or photograph of the organism being represented. Please see the submission guidelines for further details.

Every model must be composed primarily of glass (60% or more) although other materials may be used as necessary.

Models may not exceed 127 centimeters or 50 inches in any dimension. No exceptions.

Entries are limited to only one model per artist or collaborative team.

Entries may have both zoological and botanical elements in them. Models will be judged strictly on their accuracy, aesthetic beauty, presentation, and originality.

The "open" part of the show will be online only using images supplied by the participating artist. This part of the show will not be juried. Every submission that follows the guidelines will be included in this show. The online exhibition will begin by November 6, 2021, and last indefinitely.

Artists are reminded of the 127 centimeters or 50 inches in any dimension size limit. Entries that exceed this limit will not be accepted or shown.

Works may be offered for sale. The Fuller Craft Museum will handle transactions and payment to the participating artists unless other prior arrangements are made.
