It is also what we use for our wall labels. We will NOT make changes in your Text or Prices after the Call For Entries has ended, unless we are at fault. DOUBLE CHECK everything by closing out ArtCall and then going back in to check before the end of the Call for Entries.

Submission Details:
If you are entering ArtCall for the first time, you will need an artist statement for your profile- 200 WORD limit in first person the first time you register in ArtCall. 

1. Do not create a portfolio site to enter the show. A portfolio is a website.

2. The way you fill out the details is how they 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. 

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

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 you have written it in ArtCall, by copy/pasting what you type. We will NOT change prices or wording after the Call For Entries ends, unless we are at fault.
