Artwork Entries:

HOOT supports entries and awards both in Non-Professional and Professional categories. What constitutes a Professional is in the fair’s Rules & Regulations. For this division, a person who received certification by the former Society of Decorative Painters as either a Certified Decorative Artist (CDA) or Master Decorative Artist (MDA), or who has previously entered a professional class is also considered a professional.
