Please read the project description in the “Water Marks/Outside” manual
before you fill out this application. All applications must be received by May 15, preferably by
e-mail. There is no entry fee. You will be notified shortly after if your project is accepted into “Water Marks/Outside.”

The number of projects accepted are limited, so please e-mail back the application as soon as possible. Artists are now being encouraged to submit their installation proposals for the July/August event which will begin on July 19, a week before the July 26-July 30 symposium and run through August 7th.

Although there will be a manager at every site, it is the artist’s responsibility to be on site for installing his/her work and removing it at the close of the symposium. If the artist cannot be there, it is their responsibility to have an agent there to represent them and to assist during the installation and removal of their work. “LandEscapes” is not liable for any damages or losses that may occur to any project in the installation, de-installation process, or the duration of the symposium. A waiver will be sent out with each acceptance notification which must be signed and returned at the designated location of each entry.

All individuals as well as groups (children and adults) are encouraged to apply, and an art background is not required to enter this competition. Each piece must be water and float “ready,” and tested before the installation date. The materials used must meet the standards and restrictions outlined in the website manual. The information requested below may be sent in an e-mail to applications@mdi-landescapes.com There is a separate email address listed in the manual for questions or concerns. For those not e-mail friendly, applications may be sent by U.S. Mail to:

During the symposium week there will be a map in various public venues around
