Within this post you will see step-by-step directions on how to submit your artwork into our exhibitions through Submittable. Please Note: This submission How-To was created on a Mac computer, so the location of files and overall look of the screen may be different on other devices. If you are unsure where to access your files on your computer, personal research may be necessary.

Step 2

You will be redirected to the Submittable landing page for the Cambridge Art Association. Click the ‘Submit’ button next to the application that you are applying to. In this case, I am using our 2019 Members Prize Show application as the example. Please read the application names to make sure you are submitting to the correct exhibition. This landing page will include more applications than just the one you are interested in.

 

STEP 3

You will be redirected to the main page for the application you selected in the previous step. Read over our Exhibition Guidelines, and scroll down. You will see two buttons. ‘Create Your Account’ and ‘Have An Account? Sign In’. This account is not related to your pre-existing Cambridge Art Association account. This is to create an account with Submittable. No worries, it’s free, but you must create an account with them in order to continue your application. It’s Easy!
