The link to submit isn\u2019t working, or is taking me to an old webpage. What should I do?<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

Only use the link from the current Prospectus. Do not use links from previous years\u2019 competitions. Try clearing your browser history, including all cookies and cache, to see if that corrects the issue. If that doesn\u2019t work, please try using a private browsing window, or an alternate browser application.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>

I worked collaboratively with another artist. Can we submit?<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

Yes! Feel free to update the name of your SlideRoom account to reflect both artists\u2019 names, or simply note the additional artist(s) involved in the collaboration in the \u201cDescription\u201d field on each applicable image. Only one submission per collaborative team is allowed.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>

I\u2019m a publisher or press. Can I submit?<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

No. The ANNUAL International Competition is only open to individual artists (or collaborative artist teams).<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>

How should I name my image files?<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

The file name will not be seen by the jurors, so it is not important to name the files in any specific way. Jurors only have access to the information you submit in the required fields such as \u201cTitle,\u201d \u201cMedium,\u201d etc.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>

Do the images in my submission need to come from the same body of work?<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

The images do not necessarily need to come from the same body of work or series. We encourage you to submit whatever you feel is the strongest representation of your work, as long as the works were completed within the last three years.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>

Can I show multiple works in one image?<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

Installation views of your work(s) being exhibited are allowed. Diptych and triptych, or multi-panel (etc.) works are also accepted. However, depicting multiple separate artworks in one image is not allowed.<\/span><\/p>\n

What should I put in the \u201cDescription\u201d field of my submission?<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

Nothing is required for this field, but many artists choose to include a brief artwork description or artist statement here. You may submit a different description for each image, or repeat the same description for each image. Leaving it blank is okay, too! Please note: this field has a limit of 1,000 characters, including spaces.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>

This will allow you to go back into SlideRoom to make any necessary edits and resubmit when you are ready. You will not need to pay a second fee.

Can you help me with a payment issue on SlideRoom?<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

For technical support, including payment issues, please contact SlideRoom at support@slideroom.com<\/a><\/strong> or by using the chat feature in their Applicant Help Center<\/strong><\/a>. In the rare event that you have contacted SlideRoom and are still having trouble, email us at info@printcenter.org<\/a><\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>

Are you able to offer a discount for financial hardship?<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

The Print Center aims to support artists in as many ways as possible, but unfortunately we are not in a position to assess hardship or to selectively offer fee waivers. We will waive the fee for artists whose governments do not allow them to send money outside of the country. Contact us at info@printcenter.org<\/a><\/strong> for more information.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>

I live in a country where my government prevents me from sending payments to the U.S. Can I still submit?<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

Yes, we would be happy to assist you. Please contact us at info@printcenter.org<\/a><\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
