While it’s nearly impossible to predict the outcome of juried competitions, it’s not difficult to understand that a well-crafted application at least stands a better chance than one that is put together poorly. This workshop will cover some best practices for approaching submissions, including organizing deadlines, paying attention to pertinent details, preparing written materials and images according to required specifications, etc. Getting a handle on these details will help ensure you stay on top of all the opportunities that come up and that you always present your work in the best possible light.
