PORTFOLIO SUBMISSION GUIDELINES

Photographically speaking, your portfolio is you. The portfolio you submit should show us your aesthetic, creativity and craftsmanship in fine art photography. To assist you in putting together the best possible portfolio for our review and to help us fairly evaluate your work, we provide the following guidelines:

• The portfolio should consist of 12–15 matted, unframed prints, cohesive in content and style and representative of the work you would show at MEG. The dimensions of the matted prints should be no larger than 20”X24”.

• In addition to the 12-15 matted prints above, please provide 10 additional matted or unmatted prints showing the scope and range of your work (these supplemental prints do not need to be matted). These prints should be no larger than 20”X24”.

• The prints you submit should represent the quality of work you would be showing and selling in the gallery. Always show your best work.

• Black-and-white images printed using traditional darkroom processes must be printed using fiber-based materials and archival processing.

• Digital prints must indicate the inkset and paper used, and the estimated life expectancy of the print.

• All prints included in your portfolio should be clearly identified and labeled.

• Your prints, along with your application form and any additional paperwork, should be delivered to MEG in a single portfolio case, (folder, binder, box, container, etc.). The portfolio case should be easy to store and should not exceed 24” X 32”. Your name and contact information must be clearly visible on the outside of your portfolio case.
