**JUDGING**
There will be no separate categories in the Junior Exhibit and a ribbon will be awarded for "Best of Show". All other requirements of the NYSSA Art Exhibit will apply to junior exhibitors. An entry may be judged in another category if it is considered to be more suitably placed. Categories may be combined if there are too few entries to judge separately. The Committee on Art Exhibits reserves the right to withhold from exhibition those entries which may be damaged or broken in shipment to such an extent that it would do a disservice to the artists, and to withhold from exhibit any items which would be deemed offensive, dangerous, or otherwise would not conform to the requirements of the NYSSA Art Exhibit. NYSSA cannot act as an agent for the sale of art pieces nor may such a sale be transacted within the confines of the art exhibit gallery. Sales/Purchases are to be handled directly between the artist and buyer.
