Submission Details:
You will need an artist statement - 200-word limit in first person when you first register in ArtCall.
You do not have to create a portfolio site to enter the show.
The way you fill out the form is how it will be shown on the labels, awards, and publicity. We will NOT change text after the end of Call for Entries, unless it is our mistake. Please be sure it is what you want to say.
a. Name: Use Capital Letters for the first letters of your name.
b. Prices - DO NOT TYPE IN A COMMA. This produces the wrong price. ArtCall will add it automatically. Double-check it--We will NOT change prices after the end of the Call for Entries, unless it is our mistake.
c. Measurements - HEIGHT first, then Width then Depth (H x W x D)
d. Verbiage regarding the piece of art - The character limit is 300, including spaces!! This is used for all publicity and labels online and in-house. Spellcheck it as well as word count it! We use it exactly the way you have written it in ArtCall, by copy/pasting what you type. We do NOT change prices or text  after the Call For Entries ends, unless it is our mistake.
e. FYI - You can go back in and add/edit images and edit text until the call ends.
f. Please double-check all information (see above).
2D IMAGE REQUIREMENTS:
3 images of each piece are required, one of the art without frame, one with frame, and a close detail image (zoomed into a small section of interest). If the art is unframed, only 2 photos are required.
If it is framed, this image must be included during the Call for Entries period.
NOTE: if the work is framed, we must have the outside measurements of the frame (H x W x D). Please do not guess. If we do not have the measurements for the art and/or the framed art, your piece will not be considered to jury. Walls and backgrounds SHOULD NOT SHOW in photos. When taking the digital image please make sure the photo is not at an angle or crooked.
3D IMAGE REQUIREMENTS:
For each 3D, installation, or wearable art entry, submit 3 images: one overall front, one overall rear or sideview, and one detail (zoomed into a small section of interest).
• Detail images must show an important aspect of the artwork. Make sure that both the full-view and detail images are oriented correctly. Please keep backgrounds as unobtrusive as possible.
IMPORTANT: After submitting, please go back in and double check your information. Did you enter the required 2 or 3 photos? Is your price correct? Measurements? Is your statement complete? Too long? Please remember we do not change prices or text after the CFE ends, unless we are at fault.
NOTE: You can delete and change photos, and change text within each submission up until end-of-call. Do not delete an entire submission and then replace it with a new one--ArtCall will charge you for a new submission!

Before submitting artwork, please read and be sure you understand thoroughly procedures and expectations for participating in this special show.

NOTE: If accepted, we place your art on our website as part of the Online show. What you write with your entry is what we copy/paste. Please be sure you get it right. It is also what we use for our wall labels. We will not make changes after the Call For Entries has ended, unless we are at fault. This is ESPECIALLY true of prices. DOUBLE CHECK everything by closing out ArtCall and then going back in to check before the end of the Call for Entries.
