GENERAL INFORMATION: BEFORE submitting your entry: Make sure that your name, title, caption information for each image, dimensions, and price are all correct. If you use a different name as your 'artist' name - enter your name as you wish it to appear on any publicity material, our website, your gallery label, etc. There are no size limitations on your work as this is an online exhibition. However, any work sold will be shipped by the artist with the buyer paying to ship. So please take shipping costs into account. We've found that smaller (24 x 24 inch) works sell best online. Be sure you take into account the 50% commission fee EAI takes on any sold work as you determine your prices. Whatever information you use on your entry will be what we use to create your label on the website, publicize and sell your piece should your entry be accepted by the juror - be sure the information in the entry is correct and final.
