Fill out the description section for each piece using the following format:
1. List detailed media – Be specific! If you selected "traditional arts" as your category, specify the category and materials used (e.g., Cowboy Boots: ostrich, kangaroo, and calf). Also, include your ranch partner and/or tribal affiliation in parentheses.
2. Write 3-5 sentences (50-150 words) describing your piece – Explain the meaning behind your work, how it showcases your ranch partner or culture, and any significant details about your artistic process. (Please be aware that what you submit will be available to the public and will be used for the catalog. Double check your spelling, and ensure your writing is clear. We may need edit your description if used in other formats, such as the catalog or online so that descriptions fit.)

Example 1:

Title: Honoring the Land
Medium: Hand-tanned deerskin, glass seed beads, shell accents (Tribal Affiliation: Cherokee Nation)
Description: This piece is inspired by the natural landscapes of my homeland and the materials my ancestors have worked with for centuries. The design incorporates river shell accents, referencing the traditional shell gorgets worn by Cherokee people. The beadwork follows Southeastern patterns, honoring our culture's geometric designs. I selected natural tanned deerskin to reflect our long history of using what the land provides, ensuring that every element of this piece is connected to my heritage.

Example 2:

Title: Spirit of the West
Medium: Ostrich and calf leather (Partner: Diamond Cattle Co.)
Description: This pair of boots represents the connection between heritage and modern craftsmanship. I incorporated ostrich and kangaroo leather for durability and texture, while the inlays reference traditional cattle brand designs passed down for generations. Working with Diamond Cattle Co., I wanted to capture the ruggedness of ranch life through hand-tooled details that echo the landscapes they work in every day.

Traditional Art Category

Traditional art encompasses a wide range of materials and techniques, making it difficult to break into specific subcategories. For this reason, all traditionally crafted works—including footwear, tack, jewelry, and other handcrafted pieces—fall under the "Traditional Art" category. To ensure clarity, we ask artists to provide detailed material descriptions in their submission form. This helps us accurately represent your work and craftsmanship in exhibition materials.

If you have questions about categorizing your work, feel free to reach out!

Deadline: All submissions must be entered by May 15, 2025.
