​​

Smarter Entry will be handling the image uploads and payments for the show. (link below)

If you have not entered an ANMPAS or Shades of Gray show before, you will need to create a free account with Smarter Entry.

The email address you use to log in to Smarter Entry is the same one which your acceptance and other communications will be sent. For this reason, please do not use “dummy” or “disposable” email addresses.

Smarter Entry will walk you through the process for image entry and payment. 

Payments will be accepted from major Credit Cards ONLY (NO PayPal or checks, please.)

 

Creating a JPEG for Entry

• The file you upload to Smarter Entry must be a JPEG.

• The size should be no larger than 8 MB.

• Do not sign or print your name or use a watermark on your digital entries. Images with names, signatures and/or watermarks will be automatically disqualified.

• Make sure that your digital images are titled correctly so that you will not have to go through the process more than once. The filename should be the title of your image (do not include your name). For example: Mountains_at_Sunset.jpg

• All prints should have a title of no more than 25 characters. This makes it easier when printing the program and title cards. 

• Please do not change title after submitting.

​

A note about AI/Composite images.

ANMPAS/Shades of Gray is a photographic art show. No AI generated images will be accepted.

Any enhancement should be done by the artist.

Artists may use their own photographs to make a composite image and use filters to enhance their image.

AI software is a powerful tool and can create stunning imagery, but this show is about human artists and their vision.

​

​​​

Triptychs (3) and Diptychs (2) are a series of images that convey a theme,

or one image split into 2 or 3.

 

They may be entered in the show as one image* and will be judged and sold as

one. Limit one triptych or diptych per person.

Size limits: Maximum width including space between prints: 60 inches

                  Maximum height: 30 inches.

 

*Be careful, if one image is weak it may affect the scoring of the whole piece.

ACCEPTANCE OF ENTERED IMAGES

Photographers will be notified of their selection into the show by mid-February. Upon notification, selected photographers will be responsible for submitting high-quality prints ready for hanging.

​

Note: You only need to print and frame your image(s) if they are accepted into the show.

​​

Labeling: Your name, phone number, and title of your image should be securely attached to back of your artwork and clearly legible. 

​​​

​

PRICING YOUR ENTRIES

You will be asked for your price(s) a few weeks before the show opens. After that time, you will not be able to change the price, since the wall placards will have been printed. 

​

Considerations When Pricing Your Work:

Remember that all sale proceeds will be split 70% to photographer and 30% to ANMPAS.

Be sure to account for your framing and printing costs. Obviously, the size of your image will play a part in the price that you ask.

Some image sell more than once. Be sure your price covers the cost of possibly making a second print.

​
