Any entry where the MMFA discovers signs of insect infestation or activity, or that does not meet exhibition criteria will be rejected. NOTE: If the museum sees ANY sign of insect activity (current or past) when it is physically in the building (i.e., has already been juried in), the artist will be required to immediately retrieve it and the work will be disqualified from the exhibition.

11. Submit 1 image per two-dimensional entry; 2 images per sculpture entry. 
12. Take care photographing your artwork. Make sure it is in focus. Make sure it has good lighting. Make sure that there is not a lot of light bouncing off the surface of the work. Make sure the image is not crooked. Remember, your work will be judged via your photograph, so make it a good one. The photograph of your entry must be taken from the front. If it is a three-dimensional piece of artwork, you may photograph it from a second angle. Size the resolution of the photo at 300 pixels per inch. Save it in JPG format. The photo must be between 2500 pixels and 4600 pixels on its longest side (that is, it can be no smaller than 2500 pixels on its longest side, and no larger than 4600 pixels on the longest side). The maximum file size for a photo is 4 mb. If your artwork is two-dimensional, make sure to include just the artwork in the photo. Don’t include unnecessary background. Artwork submitted in the 2024 Regions Bank Show is eligible. If your artwork is three-dimensional, make sure you photograph it with a solid background color.
