2. Now that you have committed to entering the exhibit, you have until the Entry deadline to create.

PHOTOS: a particular exhibit may ask for multiple images or a particular type of image. Most exhibits will ask for 2 images. One showing all edges and one cropped to show the artwork only, no background.
All images should be minimum 2 MB and maximum 10 MB in file size.
Always rename your image file before sending.
The standard is "Artist last-name first-name_Artwork title_Year.jpg "

4. TFAM needs a short bio for all members but especially for those entering exhibits.
These will also be used in the gallery proposals.
If you did not submit one when you joined, please take the time to do so now. Go to the 'Update my Information' page, type it in and click 'Submit'. Just a few words to tell us about yourself, the fibre artist.
