Art applications are reviewed by one jury panel which evaluates on four criteria outlined in the application guidelines. As you complete the application, you might imagine being one of the panelists, reviewing numerous applications in a one-day period. To have your work noticed in this crowd, you want to be clear about how exceptional your work is and you want to be specific about why it is exceptional. Tell your story, but do it succinctly. Successful applications tend to be ones who make the point clearly and quickly. Compelling stories are ones panelists remember when discussing every application. Keep in mind that long stories become tedious. Nearly every artist has a great story to tell about themselves and their work.
The guidelines include information regarding what can and cannot be submitted, the four criteria used by the jury panel, and tips for a successful submission.
