How many images do I need to submit?

You’ll need to provide:

• 2 high-quality images for the website (required)
• 1 high-quality image for the brochure (required)
• 2 additional images for promotional material (optional)

What makes a “high-quality” image?

High-quality images should be:

• High resolution – At least 1500-2000 pixels on the longest side
• Well-lit – Clear, bright, and properly exposed
• In focus – Sharp and detailed
• Properly framed – Showing your work to best advantage
• File format – JPG or PNG
• File size – Typically 2-10MB per image

What should my images show?

Submit images that:

• Best represent your current work
• Showcase your artistic style and medium
• Are professional in appearance
• Would attract visitors to your venue

Can I edit or adjust my images?

Yes! You can:

• Crop to improve composition
• Adjust brightness and contrast
• Color correct for accuracy
• Ensure accurate representation of your work

Avoid heavy filters or effects that misrepresent your actual artwork.

What if my image file is too large?

If your file won’t upload:

• Compress the image using free tools like TinyPNG, Squoosh, or JPEG Optimizer
• Resize to 2000 pixels on the longest side
• Convert to JPG format (usually smaller than PNG)
• Ensure file size is under the upload limit (typically 10MB)

What happens to the optional images?

The 2 optional promotional images may be used for:

• Social media posts
• Marketing materials
• Press releases
• Event publicity

You’re not required to submit these, but they help promote your participation.
