About the Jury Process
Artadia convenes nationally recognized panels of jurors from around the country for two rounds. In the first round a jury of three reviews applications and determines a shortlist for the Artadia Awards to be announce in September 2008. The second jury of three meets with the shortlisted Finalists in studio visits, each 45 minutes-long in October 2008. The Awardees will be announced then. An exhibition of the awardees' work and an accompanying full-color publication will follow in 2009.
