protected with a covering of glass or plastic.
Each entry must be an original design concept of the artist,
executed within the last three years. Work done in a workshop or

decline any work that suggests copyright infringement.
Neither the Berks Art Alliance nor the GoggleWorks will be
responsible for any glass or plexiglass breakage.
Work previously exhibited in a BAA juried show will not be
accepted. Previously declined works may be reentered. If work
that has been exhibited in a previous BAA juried show is
reentered, the artist will be prohibited from entering any artwork
the following year.

including frame. All multi-part 2D works must be within one
frame, or parts securely attached to each other.
All 2D and 3D media are eligible, with the few exceptions noted
here. All work must be original; no reproductions are eligible,

such. No video or installations.
