PsiberDreaming Art Gallery 2007

Call to Artists - Rules and Guideline Submissions


Guidelines

An online exhibition of dream works to be displayed September 23 – October 7, 2007 as part of
IASD’s Sixth Annual Online PsiberDreaming Conference.

Eligibility:
Original art work about or inspired by dreams. Open to all levels of artistic abilities.

Media:
All media will be considered, including painting, drawing, collage, sculpture, photography, music and poetry. Film and video cannot be accepted, as there is no provision for displaying these media online.

Deadline Information:

September 14, 2007:
For your artwork to appear when the online PsiberDreaming conference opens on Sunday September 23rd images must be received by September 14th. No images can be accepted after that date.

Due to the curator’s availability, we must limit new works per artist to five (5) submissions to ensure adequate time for the work of submitting artists to be accepted, uploaded and showcased. All work accepted for the online PsiberDreaming Art Gallery will be added to the archived IASD online dream art galleries, unless you specifically request that we not do so.

There will be no opportunity have late entries uploaded to the PsiberDreaming Art Gallery this year, so please submit your artwork by the September 14 deadline.

Selection:
The show will be curated by Laura Atkinson, with the assistance of an advisory committee. Criteria considered by the committee in reviewing entries will include:

*Connection to dreams or dreaming, especially psi-dreaming.
*Completeness and quality of supporting documents (incomplete documentation or vague, unclear statements may disqualify an entry. We must have a completed entry form, and we need to know how your work is dream-related, how big it is, what the medium is, etc.)
*Quality of digital files. (Out of focus, poorly composed or difficult to see images will be rejected.)
*Images must be new, and not previously displayed as part of previous PsiberDreaming conferences.

How to Enter
Entries may be submitted electronically allowing time for receipt by the deadlines stated herein.

Submitting Digital Files:
Each artist may submit up to 5 images (multiple views or details of the same piece are acceptable where appropriate). Files should be in either .jpg, .gif or .tiff format. Images should display in the proper orientation, with resolution set at 72dpi and sized at the maximum possible within the parameters of 480h by 640w. File names should include the artist's name and an image number (e.g, "Smith1," "Smith2," etc.").

Fee:
There is no entry fee for this show, nor is membership in IASD required. However, you must be a registered participant for the PsiberDreaming Conference. For more information check our web site (www.ASDreams.org).

Prompt decisions on all entries will be made during the deadline dates. Notification of acceptance will be emailed to the artist.
