Image/Attachment Guidelines

• Submit all images with a resolution of 300 dpi and a maximum of 4MB each. Video files must be smaller than 50MB each (maximum running time: 5 minutes).
• To submit several views of a piece and detail shots, use the “add views” option. Note that the “add views” option does not appear until after you have entered the primary image of your artwork and other information.  After you click “save details”, you will see the image of your piece with a link to “add views” below it.
• Files should be named with only the title of the work (no first or last names). Use the actual title for each work. Example:
  • Title 1.jpeg
  • Title 1 (detail).jpeg
  • Title 2.jpeg
  • Title 3.jpeg

• If you are submitting a proposal for an installation, describe it in a one page (250 words maximum) pdf document and upload that in the same way that you would upload an image. DO NOT state your name or the names of your team in the written proposal. You will need to answer the same questions for the proposal as you would for an image (e.g., dimensions, material, price and year) before the portal will let you upload the file.
