Artwork Guidelines
- Due to the public nature of this project, we will not consider artwork that depicts nudity or could be conceived as pornographic.
- We will not accept artwork that marginalizes, in any way, any person and/or group based on race, gender, creed, age, sexual orientation, nationality, and/or disability.
- We will not consider work that contains profanity.
- Given the commercial nature of this venue, we are extremely sensitive to any work that could be construed as an advertisement for a product, service, business, event, or anything else. Therefore, we will not consider advertisements. Under certain conditions, we will consider work that may take on the appearance of an advertisement, if that work is not a direct advertisement (rather it subverts or questions the idea of advertising).
- We will not include the artist?s name on billboard pieces. The billboard cannot be overtly used as a promotional tool. However, we will promote the artist, current exhibitions, etc. on the Your Art Here website <http://yourarthere.org> in conjunction with the mounting of the billboard.
- Your Art Here has final say on all curatorial decisions.
Billboard Submission Guidelines
- Acceptable media include any two-dimensional media such as Photography, Painting, Printmaking, Graphic Design, Digital, Video still, Mixed Media, etc.
- All work should fit within an 8 ft x 15ft 2D space and be printable on a weatherproof canvas.
- Printing costs are the responsibility of the artist. Your Art Here prints billboards through Vincent Printing of Tennessee. Cost for printing of one billboard is approximately $150 (non-profit price which includes shipping) and is provided by the artist.
- Nothing can be glued or painted onto the billboard. The board cannot be changed, damaged, or defaced in any way.
- Copyright is retained by the artist, but Your Art Here retains the right to use images of the artwork for promotion.
Bus Submission Guidelines
- Acceptable media include any two-dimensional media such as Photography, Painting, Printmaking, Graphic Design, Digital, Video still, Mixed Media, etc.

- Proportions for artwork should come out to a 3 x 5 ratio. Artwork may be cropped with the artist’s permission in the event that a piece does not fit the print dimensions without major distortion.
- Interior pieces could take on a longer, panoramic dimension (for example, 11” x 56” or 11” x 84”). If your artwork incorporates a longer dimension such as this, please include this information as part of your submission form.
- Costs are dependent on funding or arrangement with artists.
- Copyright is retained by the artist, but Your Art Here retains the right to use images of the artwork for promotion.
