Strengths:
- Comprehensive Information Gathering: The form collects a good balance of artist information, artwork details, and submission specifics. It's suitable for both general submissions and juried exhibitions.
- Clear Categorization: The sections (Artist Information, Artwork Information, Submission Details, etc.) make the form easy to navigate and understand.
- Required vs. Optional Fields: Clearly distinguishing between required and optional fields helps artists prioritize and speeds up the completion process.
- Specific Artwork Details: Asking for medium, dimensions (including specifying if framed), year created, price, and insurance value (if not for sale) are crucial for managing artwork and potential sales/insurance.
- Image Upload: Requiring a high-resolution image is essential for judging, documenting and promoting the artwork.
- Agreement/Release: The inclusion of an agreement/release checkbox is vital for legal protection and outlining the terms of the submission.
- Exhibition-Specific Questions: The "For Exhibitions" section addresses important logistics like availability, shipping, and return of artwork, which are essential for managing an exhibition.
- Optional Sections: The optional sections allow for collecting additional information like references (for juried shows), sponsorship details, and accessibility needs, which can be valuable.
Areas for Potential Improvement:
- Price/Insurance Value: Be clear about currency. Specify if prices should be in USD, EUR, GBP, etc.
- Submission Fee: Provide detailed instructions on how to pay the submission fee
- Notification Preference: While you ask about notification preference, clarify when artists will be notified (e.g., "within two weeks of the submission deadline").
Overall:
This form is a solid foundation for an art submission process. By addressing the potential improvements, especially regarding multiple artworks, image uploads, and clear instructions, you can make it even better and create a more user-friendly experience for artists. The most crucial aspect is having clear, comprehensive, and legally sound terms and conditions linked to the agreement checkbox.
