DIRECTIONS FOR SUBMISSION:
Photograph your work NOTE: This step is VERY IMPORTANT. The photograph of your work will be the first impression the curator will see -- not the actual work itself. It is important to take high quality photographs with good lighting, clarity, and a solid background. Do not enhance your images with Photoshop; only adjust if necessary for detail quality. It is highly recommended that you do not take your photos with a cellphone. If you like, you can have someone take your photos for you in order to ensure the highest-quality images. Crop and adjust your final images to ensure a quality presentation
IMPORTANT! Save your images as Name/Title.jpg
