The North by North Arts, Crafts & Culture Expo is a juried event based on the submission of quality digital images that best represent the applicant's current work. Note, if selected, the highest quality images may be selected for use in promotional materials for these events. The jury selects participants based on the following criteria: quality of work, artistic integrity, interesting demonstration of design, marketability and price levels. Artists are asked to highlight their personal connection to the Circumpolar North or their use materials from the Circumpolar North.
