The National Polymer Clay Guild’s Progress and Possibilities Exhibition is opening for submissions on August 1. The exhibition is open to all members of the NPCG and submission is 100% electronic this year.

The event is chaired this year by Barbara Fajardo . She has some great information about the event on her blog and you can also check out the NPCG web site for more information.

The “work” must be:

  • at least 1/2 Polymer Clay;
  • original work of the artist submitting;
  • made between 09/01/07 and 09/01/08; and
  • not previously published or pending within any other contests.
