APPLICATION PROCEDURES
You must provide the Art Center with three (3) items.

1. Digital images of your entries.
2. A completed entry form.
3. Payment of $15 per entry.

Several options exist for each item, as explained below. You may choose the combination most convenient for you.

Images: Images should be sized to fit within a 1500x1000 pixel box. Much smaller images will put you at a disadvantage, and larger images will needlessly increase upload time if you submit online. The images may then be mailed to The Art Center on a CD, emailed as attachments to LIS@artcenterofestes.com, or uploaded directly to the Art Center using the online submission form. Photo CDs will NOT be returned.

Entry Forms: You may use the link at the top of this page to access a printable entry form. Print out the form, fill it out and mail it to the Art Center to accompany a CD entry or emailed entries. If you use the Online Submission form (link at top of this page) to upload images to the Art Center, you do not need to submit a paper entry form.

Payment: The following methods of payment are acceptable:
1. Mailed Checks/Money Orders, payable to The Art Center of Estes Park. (address at right)
2. Credit card, by calling the Gallery with the credit card information (970-586-5882), or providing the card information requested on the paper entry form. Payment may also be made through PayPal, using the link at the top of this page, or directly to treasurer@artcenterofestes.com at the PayPal website.
