2. The way you fill out the form is how it will be shown on the labels, awards, and publicity.

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. We do not change prices after the call for entry has ended.

c. Measurements - HEIGHT first, then Width then Depth (H x W x D).

d. Verbiage about the piece of art - The CHARACTER limit is 300, including spaces!! This is used for all publicity  and labels online and inhouse. Spellcheck it as well as word count it! We use it exactly the way your have written it in ArtCall, by copy/pasting what you type.
