Selection:
Artists should submit photographs and biographies to The Hollycroft Foundation, which through an
anonymous committee chooses works of quality appropriate for a public setting by professional artists.

Submissions may be made at any time, but consideration for the annual refreshment in May should be
made not later than April 15 for consideration that year.

Why an anonymous committee? Many selection juries for exhibitions and awards are by choice unnamed.
By this means undue pressure is avoided, and honesty is assured.(e.g. The MacArthur Foundation and
the Fulbright Grants follow this policy.)

Realistic/Abstract:
Quality is the first criteria of selection, but a balance between the disciplines is attempted, although the
border line is often blurred.

Qualifications:
The artists are living sculptors. Some were not born in this country, but by living, working, and exhibiting
in the United States are considered in the art world as American. Most of the sculptors are mature, fully
developed artists, nationally known and nationally exhibited. However, talented emerging artists are
of particular interest to the committee.

Funding:
The Hollycroft Foundation is a non-endowed 501(c)(3) organization that supports its programs through
donations, grants, and partially through exhibition catalogue advertisements.
