Submission Tips
1. Be original! If your work is exactly like a million other things we've seen before, we most likely won't accept it. Use your creative talent to make something unique and different.
2. Please do not submit unfinished material. We have no interest in incomplete work and submissions that are clearly underdeveloped will not be considered.
3 . Don't waste our time with work you aren't serious about pursuing. Submit work that you are passionate about and that you want to continue creating. We like artists who are dedicated.
4 . Submit "enough" quality work for us to review. All we know about you is presented in what you give us, so try to make a good impression by giving us enough to get an accurate idea of you and your art. If you only submit the bare minimum we've requested, you might not be representing yourself fully. On the other hand, submitting too much stuff can be overwhelming for us. Just use your best judgement.
5 . Provide sufficient contact information. This is possibly the most important thing. We can't accept your work if we can't get in touch with you. If you don't give us reliable contact information, we are not going to spend any time trying to track you down. So please, load us up with contact info. Phone numbers are the easiest and most direct. E-mail works great too as long as you check it regularly.
6 . Don't ask us about your submission. You can be assured that we review every submission thouroughly and when we're done, we will contact you. Taking up more space in our inbox is not going to make us like your work more, in fact we will probably like it less. Just give it time, and we promise to get back to you.
7 . Be a good sport. Don't throw a fit if we decide not to accept your work. With every letter of rejection, we will try our best to describe our reasons. We will also provide you with advice on how to improve your work. Whether you find our comments beneficial, or you think we're full of crap, please don't pester us about why we should have accepted you. However, feel free to improve your work and submit again! We would love to see your progress.
Additional Information
We will review your submission and reply as soon as possible. If your submission is denied, you can expect an explanation of our decision. If your submission is accepted, you will receive information on what to do next. You may also be asked to submit more work for a second review.
If you don't exactly have any completed work to submit, but you specialize in a particular skill of any sort, please let us know (no official submission necessary). We are always looking for talented people to help us out with our own projects.
