Procedures and Details

•  Submission for this exhibition is handled exclusively through CaFE.  All submitted artwork must be uploaded to this site. One to three pieces of artwork can be submitted. Artists who encounter technical difficulties can request help from CaFE staff at cafe@westaf.org.  Questions related to the exhibit can be sent to the show chair, Tracy Carhart via email, thcarhart.falc@gmail.com.

•  The artwork images you submit via the café portfolio must be specifically named for this exhibition. Please follow this format; using your initials, number of entry, and title of piece submitted: If your name is John Edward Doe, the three entries are named JED1_title, JED2_title, and JED3_title. If you are only submitting one entry, please still title the image using a number, which in this example would be JED1_title. This is a most important first step, which is required for a fair competition.

•  It is very important that artists upload only one photo for each piece of art being submitted. Thus, if the artist submits one piece, they will submit only one photo, or two photos for two pieces of art, etc.  Please check that the artwork is properly oriented in the photo, that the frame or other peripheral objects are not included. Attention should also be given to keystone effect and glare, which are common issues in photographing artwork. The exhibition juror will select the participating pieces from these digital photographs; the prize winners will be also be selected from these digital photos.

 •  CaFE has specific requirements regarding the file sizes of the photo submitted. Follow their directions or contact their staff. In short, photos cannot exceed 5MB and the resolution must be 72dpi.
