Frequently Asked Questions
Required material
What are digital image requirements for entry?
Entries, without exception, must be in digital format. Jpg images must be under 4mb and a maximum of 4800px on the longest side. Film/video art only may be attached as MP4, MOV, or may be linked to VIMEO or YouTube
How important is the quality of the artwork photograph I send?
Image quality is very important. This is the only exposure to your artwork the jurors will have, and a poor representation (such as a blurred image, or one affected by glare, dim lighting, or unnecessary background objects) will reduce your chances of being selected.
How many submissions and images can I upload?
Each submission is one, single entry, but you may submit up to 3 entries (individual works) and up to 2 images of each work (for example, if you have sculpture, you may submit two views of the artwork)
