Thanks for sending your announcement to the ART DEADLINES LIST:

          http://artdeadlineslist.com

     Please consider rewriting your announcement to be both shorter
     and resemble the announcements you see on the page above.

     Before rewriting your announcement, please read this:

          http://www.useit.com/alertbox/9710a.html

     to learn how web users read information on the web.

     More samples can be found at:

     If you decide to rewrite your announcement, please send
     it in the body of an email message. No attachments please!
     All announcements must be plain text, no images, but you
     may include URLs pointing to images. Please send one
     announcement via one email with a title in the Subject
     line of your email message.

     Also, please send it as plain ascii text--no HTML, no
     special formatting such as bold or italics or variation
     in font size.

     The preferred format for an announcement is:

          1) deadline for entry
          2) headline
          3) short description including special circumstances such
               as age of entrants, region, etc
          4) entry fee or no entry fee
          5) send SASE for prospectus
          6) person/organization name
          7) postal address
          8) telephone
          9) FAX
          10) web address
          11) email address
          12) cash prizes listed in US dollars

     The goal with a headline should always be to inform an artist
     that this particular item is NOT for them.  This reduces the amount
     of reading they have to do to find relevant competitions.

     By using the words CALL FOR ART you end up causing some number
     of sculptors to read your announcement until they discover it is
     a competition for painters.

     There is so much information on the Internet that the most valuable
     part of this service is to make it unnecessary for an artist to read
     most of what is available.

     So if you are looking for JUST painting and drawing then that is
     the best possible headline you can create.  Believe me, lots of
     sculptors and photographers and filmmakers, etc, will be grateful.

     Here's an example:

          CALL FOR SCULPTURE - April 15, 2010
          Soliciting on-loan (for sale) sculptures for one year 
          outdoor exhibit, beginning June 2010 ending May 2011. 
          $500 honorarium. Entry fee.
