As Florida's premier program for assessing student artwork, the K-12 Student Art Assessment & Virtual Exhibition serves as a tool to help visual art teachers develop their art programs, foster performance in the classroom, and celebrate the artistic achievements of Florida's students, teachers, and school art programs.
Only one entry per student is allowed, each submission must be created 100% by a single student (no group projects and no teacher embellshment), and content must be appropriate. Be sure to read our complete submission guidelines and policies here.
The 2024 K-12 Student Art Assessment & Virtual Exhibition will open in December. Deadlines and entry fees will be available at that time. If your school district is paying for your entries, be sure to enter and generate your invoice fill out your P.O. in time for the actual payment to reach the FAEA Office no later than March 1.
Adjudication takes place in March, and results are sent out in April. The judging process is conducted virtually by a minimum of three judges who have received FAEA training in scoring artworks for exhibition. The jurors work independently of each other. All entries are adjudicated anonymously by the judges (artist name, school, and district are not visible to the judges) regardless of the status of their payment or signed release forms.
Selection criteria is based on these 4-point rubrics:
Award/Score Classification
Entries that receive an "Award of Excellence with Distinction" are featured in a virtual exhibition that highlights all artworks awarded with a perfect score. Entries who received an "Award of Excellence" or an "Award of Excellence with Distinction" have their artwork in their school division's virtual exhibition (Elementary, Middle School, High School). The 2023 virtual exhibitions will be available on April 26, 2023.
