IMAGES
Acceptable file types are: .jpg, .tif, and .psd. The file name of your image should follow this convention - last name of the artist, title of work (perhaps abbreviated), and number (1, 2, or 3).
EXAMPLE: SMITH_SUNNYDAY_3.jpg
Since some images will be printed in our journal, we like images to be at least 300 ppi and 1500 pixels on the shortest dimension. No need to reduce images; large images will upload with no problems. Also, you may submit up to three images, please no more.

SELECTION AND AWARDS
No more than thirty (30) artists will be chosen for the exhibition, making selection competitive. Selections will be made by the editorial staff of Still Point Arts Quarterly. All selected images will appear in our online gallery, and at least one of each selected artists' works will be printed in the Winter 2019 issue of Still Point Arts Quarterly.

Four (4) awards will be given:
Award for Best in Show (Portfolio) - requires 3 images;
Award for Uniqueness of Concept and Originality;
Award for Exceptional Composition and Design;
Award for Distinctive Interpretation of Theme.

Each award recipient will be invited to exhibit his or her art for one year as a Gallery Artist.

NEW PORTFOLIO OPTION
We now offer the option to submit a coherent set of 6 to 10 images that fit the theme. You may submit images for BOTH the general exhibition AND the portfolio option; or you may submit for one or the other. If selected, the artist's portfolio will be featured in the Summer 2020 issue of Still Point Arts Quarterly. Submit images for this option here. The link for submitting for the general exhibition is below.
