Pen for note taking, completions & signature of W-9 (know your SS# and/or TaxID), signature for any needed property liability releases, etc.

Your completed, ready-to-hang Competition Paintings, your completed Inventory Sheet, labels for each of your entry paintings.

Bring a pen to edit and complete all paperwork.  Tape to affix labels on the back of each painting. 

Please, be on time and come prepared.

For Quick Draw 

Your easel, your paints, hat, umbrella, water, and timer to help you judge your allotted time. 

Frame to fit your stamped surface, all hanging hardware and tools to apply the hardware.  Pen to complete your labels.  Tape to affix your labels.  Many Quick Draw events are judged outdoors, set up on your easel.  So prepare for wind to avoid disaster. 

Bring your best manners and social skills to VIP Reception and Award Presentations
