General information/instructions:

The entrants were allowed to submit 1 or 2 pieces for consideration, and it’s important to note that you should not select more than one piece from any artist. Beyond this, your choices are entirely guided by your artistic discretion.

When you first log in, you’ll see an overview of all the entries. You may want to scroll through this view to get a general sense of all the entries first, then look at each entry more closely.

From the overview, you’ll see the entry number for each entry under the image. To the right of the entry number, click the blue “VIEW” link just below each image. Once you click View, you’ll be in that individual entry, and the entry number will be at the top. You may see 1-2 main images, which should be full-view images of the 1-2 pieces they are submitting for consideration. (If you click on the image, it will open in a larger window). Entrants could also opt to include detail images – so you may or may not see those detail images. (Remember, if an entrant has submitted more than one artwork, you may only choose ONE from that artist). Once you’re in the detailed view of an entry, you can click “Next” to move to the next entry. That next button is located in the top-right corner of the page.

Because the entries are meant to be anonymous and because an entrant could submit more than one piece for you to consider, whichever view you’re in, you’ll need to look carefully at the entry numbers to identify when you’re looking at a different artist. The entry numbers are shown below each image in the overview, or at the top of each entry if you’re in the detailed view.

You can do the scoring however it works best for you. You’ll find “Points” and small boxes with 0-5 below each image. That’s where you would select the number of points to score each image. Once you’ve made a decision, you would enter the score and press the save button. We suggest that if you are selecting/accepting one piece from an artist/entry, you give that image a score of 5. At the same time, score the other image by that artist/entrant (if they’ve submitted more than one piece) as zero to ensure you don’t select more than one piece per selected artist. You will assign a score to each of the artist’s submitted main/full-view images. A numerical score of 5 will indicate which pieces you wish to accept into the exhibit. A score of 4 or less will indicate that the piece is not accepted.

Artists were required to include a statement on how their work relates to the theme. You may use the statements as a factor for your choices, giving the statements as much weight as you choose as a factor for acceptance into the exhibit. Ultimately, though, you’re free to choose work based on your aesthetic criteria and what you think will make for an excellent, cohesive showing.

To view the statements that are included in EntryThingy, click “view this entry”, and you’ll see their brief statement in the field labeled “Description of Entry”. I noticed that a few artists’ statements appear under the images rather than in the entry field description. The artists who may have written statements longer than the allotted space in EntryThingy were instructed to write “statement sent separately” in that field. There were 21 entrants who sent separate statements.  I will email you those statements. The statements sent separately have their entry number on the document and also include thumbnail image(s) to help you match the separate statements with their entries.

There were 55 entrants.  Adrienne suggested how many (plus or minus) total pieces to accept. That number would show well in the space. However, you have some flexibility in the total number, depending on the strength of the entries and your artistic discretion. This flexibility allows you to adapt to the unique circumstances of this exhibit. You can discuss this further with Adrienne if you wish.

Please complete the jury process anytime before Aug 13th or 14th so we can prepare the juried entries for notification by the August 16th deadline. When you’ve finished, please log out and contact Adrienne at Mehrens@eainm.com and cc eainm.info@gmail.com to let us know.
