Guidelines

1. Participants will be designated a window at the University Center.
2. Paintings should be designed to promote the Homecoming theme. Taste and discretion should be used. The Homecoming Steering Committee has the right to determine what themes/drawings are appropriate to display on University windows. Participants should identify themselves somewhere on the design.
3. The entry form, a drawing of the design and a $20.00 non-refundable entry fee for clean up of the windows, MUST be submitted to Career & Leadership Development by 4:00pm Friday, October 10th. All drawings will be date stamped and the time of submission recorded. Drawings will not be returned. The Homecoming Steering Committee will review the drawings and advise participants of any designs that are similar in case you may wish to change them.
4. The paints used will be supplied by the Homecoming Steering Committee (White, Orange, Black, Red, Yellow, Green, Purple, Brown, Blue). Paint will be applied over a white soap base (REQUIRED). Participants must supply their own brushes.
5. Entrants can paint their respective window on Sunday October 19th from 12:00pm-6:00pm. Paint will not be available after 5:30pm. All painting materials and area must be cleaned by 6:00pm. Failure to clean up your area will result in a deduction of points. No professional artist or professional help of any kind will be allowed. Participants must be current UW-Whitewater students who belong to the organization participating. A border of no less than 4 inches must be left around the design. Every participant will receive a 4 inch border to use. Groups not adhering to the border requirements or cleaning up their space by 7:00pm will be disqualified.
6. Judging will take place throughout the day on Monday, October 20th.
7. The decision of the judges is FINAL. The winner of each division will be announced and points will be awarded at the Dance. Points will be allocated to the winners as established in the points section.

NOTE: Any window painting promoting irresponsible use of alcohol, using profanity, or implying sexual or racial discrimination is not permitted. Such designs will be automatically disqualified and the window will be cleaned IMMEDIATELY by entrant upon notification from the Homecoming Steering Committee. Failure to do so will result in organization disqualification from ALL remaining Homecoming events.
