Question: Why are entrants in the Scholarship Group required to send in a rendering?

Answer: A sketch or rendering of the planned drawing helps us in two ways. First, it lets us make sure that all art is appropriate for family viewing at a public event. Secondly, a color rendering tells us what colors of chalk we need to order to be sure to have enough of all colors.  

 

 

Question: Are artists allowed to bring umbrellas or canopies to cover their areas while they work.

Answer: Yes, in fact, canopies or umbrellas are encouraged, as long as they are weighted down, so they don’t blow over and hurt somebody.
