Submission FAQ’s for ArtFields 2020

You’ve got questions and we’ve got answers! Our prizes and rules page is pretty thorough, so

please click here to check out our rules document before beginning your submission process. If you still have

questions, we suggest reviewing these FAQs to see if your question has been addressed!

What if I have two residences?

• Artists who have had a listed permanent address for at least six months for one of the 12 participating states (Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia and West Virginia) and have a valid ID for that state are welcome to apply.

If I have a framed work, does the frame size count when listing the artwork size?

• Yes! The frame size will need to be taken into account should we select your piece so that we can determine a size-appropriate hanging space.

What if I started my artwork before the cut-off year?

• As long as you finished your piece during or after 2017, it is eligible to submit for the 2020 competition.

Can I submit a piece of artwork I submitted before if it wasn’t accepted?

• If your work was completed in or after 2017, you may resubmit it.

May I submit my artwork to additional competitions?

• You may submit to multiple competitions! We encourage artists to submit to anything that can help further their career and elevate the profile of Southeastern artists. However, if accepted into ArtFields 2020, your work must be available from March 30th to May 2nd for exhibition in Lake City, SC. If your artwork is selected as one of the top 4 winners and becomes property of ArtFields, you would have to withdraw from any further competitions with that specific artwork.

What if my email address changes?

• It’s important to use an email you check regularly for your ArtBooth account. If for whatever reason you do need to update the email address that you use to access ArtBooth and receive competition updates, please reach out to [email protected].

Why does it cost $25 to submit?

• This submission cost helps to cover the expenses required to make call for submissions happen!

Why are the Grand Prize, Second Place, People’s Choice 2D, and People’s Choice 3D purchase prizes where the ownership transfers?

• One of the many ways that ArtFields honors its commitment to celebrating Southeastern artists is through its ongoing collection showcasing ArtFields competition winners’ artwork. This body of work grows annually and has reached critical mass, meaning ArtFields is on the precipice of achieving a goal set at its inception: the opening of a permanent gallery space in downtown Lake City. The gallery, opening in Fall 2019, will display the artwork of selected competition winners year-round. The artists who have placed in ArtFields top categories over time have graciously allowed the Lake City ArtFields Collective to amass an incredible collection of Southern art—which will soon reach new audiences locally and across the country.

I have a question not already addressed here. How should I go about asking it?
