In order to enter the competition, and submit work, you must go to the NOPA website and put information about yourself into a form officially known as the “Entry Thingie.” The form asks for your name and e-mail address and requires users to create a password.
Entrance is open to current NOPA members. Applicants may join the Alliance, however, at the time of entry. The submission fee is $25 for members, and $60 with a new or renewed membership. With entry, you may submit five to ten images, ones that should form a cohesive body of work. An artist statement and a brief project description are required for consideration.
Notification of acceptance will be given on October 1.
