The jury decision is final.
 
Entry fee is non-refundable.
 
Work will be judged from digital images.  Selection will be based on the overall quality of the work and its relevance to the show theme.  It must be in compliance with the standards stated in “Entry Requirements”

Artists may submit up to three (3) works.  Each entry must be represented by two (2) images: one (1) full view and one (1) detail. 

Photographing your work:
 
Because the images of the work will be displayed in this online exhibit, use a professional photographer if possible.
Each entry should be represented by clearly focused, well-lit images on a neutral background that accurately reflects the work submitted.  Color must represent the piece accurately.  Proper lighting is essential.  Do not use a camera flash.  It will cause a ‘hot spot’ in the image.  Work that is framed must include the frame in the picture, but remove the glass for the photograph.

Selected Work:
Artists will be asked to provide HIGH RESOLUTION digital images (full view and detail) for use in the catalog.  In the full view, the entire artwork must be clearly visible; the edges of the work must show.  Acceptable images should be at least 3600 pixels on the largest dimension. 
 
Notification:
Notification of the jurors decision will be sent to the artist’s email by February 28, 2019.  The Common Thread will retain submitted images (accepted and declined) and reserves the right to use the images in publications and gallery publicity.  Beyond such use, the artist retains full copyright of the submitted images.
