Tips for Preparing Your Entry
To present your work to its best advantage, keep these guidelines in mind:
Photographs:
- Submit only full images, no detail views.
- Use a clean, neutral background and show only the artwork.
- Be sure to shoot your photo straight on. Poor photography may negatively impact juror scores.
- Images must be 5MB or less.
NOTE: There are no dimension restrictions for the print exhibition, but the Fort Wayne Museum of Art may consider dimensions when choosing artwork for the on-site exhibition.
Work Sample Requirements
- Images: Minimum 1
- Total Works: Maximum 3
Artwork:
List the information for each piece separately starting with the title, then list materials, techniques, dimensions, year completed, insurance value, retail value if the work is available for sale (otherwise list NFS), photo credit per piece, and artist statement per piece. List dimensions as Height x Width x Depth in inches.
NOTE: The information entered into the application form is the information that will be used in all print and digital mentions and on social media. Be succinct.
Artist Statement:
Keep statements to 100 words or less for each artwork. Please speak to the specific work you are entering, rather than in general terms.
Take the time to ensure your photographs and artist statement reflect the care and craftsmanship of your work.
