Work samples must be accompanied by a list that includes titles, dimensions, materials and date for each image submitted.
Represented work must be current, preferably within the past three years, except in the case of large-scale installations.

The application package must include quality recording(s) in CD ROM or DVD format.
Required formats are:
- Video: .avi or .mov files

Recording selection(s) set at a maximum of 15 minute review time and can include a single piece or multiple pieces as edited by the artist to best present the artists work and concept.
If an artist is submitting a commercially produced CD or DVD then they must clearly indicate selected tracks or portions of tracks. These submissions should allow for jurors to hear/watch selected segments of larger works without viewing the entire piece.
DVDs and CDs should contain enough space between selections to alert the jurors that they are beginning to assess a new work.
Must include a separate sheet listing the artist’s name, title(s) of work(s), date(s) of completion, running time(s) when applicable, format of support material, best viewing platform (PC/MAC) and any special presentation instructions, and additional production credits.
Represented work must be current, preferably within the past three years.
