Fine craft artists from across the state are invited to participate in the 24th annual South Carolina Palmetto Hands Juried Fine Craft Competition and Exhibition. As the state’s longest-running fine craft competition and exhibition, objects selected for the show may compete for cash prizes totaling up to $6,500.

The exhibition is presented as a component of the annual North Charleston Arts Fest, to be held April 29-May 3, 2026. A $16 entry fee applies, which covers the artist’s first entry if accepted into the exhibition.

Each additional piece the artist chooses to enter will be $15. Artists may submit up to four entries. The application is strictly available online and may be accessed via the link at NorthCharlestonArtsFest.com/apply.

Deadline for entries is Monday, March 16, 2026.

Artists in need of assistance with the application process may contact the Cultural Arts Department to schedule a one-on-one meeting, which can be conducted over the phone or in person.
