The Artwork

Ready to make some art magic?

Here’s the scoop: every piece you enter has to be an original—no copycats allowed! 
This year’s playful theme is "Reflections of Dorset."
Got $10? That’s your ticket to hang your masterpiece, and if it sells, there’s a 25% high-five commission to the fest.

What’s “Reflections of Dorset,” you ask?

Think about our district—literally or in your wildest, wackiest, most colourful dreams! Maybe you’re inspired by history, family, the cool people next door, or you want to go abstract, baroque, cubist, or all-out digital.

We’re especially jazzed about four big ideas this year:

  • Repetition: Like fence posts stretching forever, endless rivers, mountains and more. Or the magic patterns of changing seasons and nature’s own designs.
  • Capturing Light: Every artist’s obsession! Splash that sunlight across landscapes, still life’s, or even faces—let it shine in any way you choose.
  • Hidden Treasures: Zoom in on the tiny, overlooked wonders—spring blossoms, curling ferns, autumn leaves, or even a person or place that sparkles for you.
  • Rustic: Old tractors, weathered barns, or just glorious, flaky rust. Maybe you’re a little rustic yourself—we celebrate it all!

Here’s the nitty-gritty:

All entries must be 100% yours, fresh (finished in the last 36 months), and no one else can enter on your behalf. Each artist can submit up to four artworks, but just one can compete for the annual prize. And don’t forget, everything must be up for grabs—let your art find a new home!
So, unleash your inner creative wizard, dazzle us with your vision, and join the fun at NETAC Festival’s 51st year—it’s time to show off what makes Dorset (and you!) shine!
