The jurors will be choosing 50 jewelry images for METAL Inclinations2.
The Society for Midwest Metalsmiths will be actively promoting the selected artists and their work as well as METAL Inclinations2 with National and International ads in publications and online during the duration of the exhibition. It is important that the selected works gets as much exposure and publicity as possible.

Metal Inclinations 1 appears to have included metal objects but the call for entries for Metal Inclinations 2 appears to be for jewelry only, is this correct?

The competition was stiff with entries coming in from all over the world, but Wendy Walsh a self taught metalsmith from St. Louis Missouri and the only member of the Society for Midwest Metalsmiths who was jurored into METAL Inclinations International Exhibition prevailed. Wendy is a excellent finish carpenter by trade and an accomplished metalsmith at heart. Congratulations Wendy!!!

Hi Metalsmith08,
All entered artists should have received an email today September1, 2008. Juried Art Services is emailing these letters for the Society for Midwest Metalsmiths so I don't know their exact timing of the e-mails. I do know they send them out in groups and they were all supposed to go out today.
You can go to the http://www.smm-metalinclinations.org site to look at the list of selected artists. I personally emailed all the award winners today. If you still have questions, e-mail: midwest.metalsmiths@gmail.com and I will try to help you.

I am confused re the need for an artist statement for each entry. Can it be the same general artist statement for all 3 entries or do I need to write a separate one that addresses each entry? I am also confused re the requirement that the materials and techniques be listed in 50 CHARACTERS or less. This means letters to me. This does not seem possible and I wonder if you meants 50 WORDS instead? Perhaps this is a typo and you meant 500 characters? Could you please clarify this as soon as possible. Thanks.

The artist's statement can be the same for all or different for each one. You can check a box to use the same on all.
If your entered images are all from the same series of work, you may want to use the same artist's statement. If your work is from a different series or created in previous years, you may want to use a different artist's statement. The judges will view each images by itself with it's own artist's statement.

Hello,
There is an inconsistency with regard to file size on the JAS website. When initially uploading files, it states that all images must be 1400 pixel min dimension and 2000 pixel max widest dimension. I sized my images to fit this parameter and proceeded to upload them. When I went to apply for the Metal Inclinations show, they say that images cannot exceed 1400 PPI in any dimension. They reserve the right to disqualify any entry that does not meet these standards.
Do I have to go back and resize everything again? Please advise! Thanks!!

RE: Image size inconsistency

Hi,
I am sorry for this confusion. The specifications on the JAS website changed in the middle of our "Call for Entries." It used to state a MAX of 1400 px at 300dpi. They changed it to 2000 px with a minimum of 1400 px at 300 dpi a few months ago. The 1400 px MAX size is perfectly fine for the METAL Inclinations Exhibition. We will not throw out your application if it is 1400 px. JAS works with many other exhibitions, some of which need very high resolution images for high resolution catalog printing. Since METAL Inclinations is an online exhibition and we want our images to load quickly, we will be using images smaller in size and lower res. than the ones asked for anyway.
I would suggest you send the largest images you can within the guidelines. It will give you a fair viewing by the judges.
I hope this helps you with your application.

I noticed the Metal Inclination rules state all images submitted must have the year completed entered in the appropriate text box when uploading images. Anyone have any idea where that text box might be? Or if that is a new feature and I will need to re-upload my images to fill that in?
Also, do they take your website address from the contact information for JAS or does that have to be added to the application separately? If so, where?
Thanks!

Hi again,
The box to fill out for year is in the same area that asks for description and dimensions. You can sign in to JAS and click MANAGE YOUR APPLICATIONS chose the application missing the date and then edit the description by clicking EDIT under the small picture of your image.
Hope this clears the problem up for you.

The full name of the exhibition is: METAL Inclinations: An INTERNATIONAL Online Juried Exhibition of Metalwork, Jewelry and Metal Sculpture.
So the answer is YES, you can live and work anywhere in the entire world. The presenting organization, The Society for Midwest Metalsmiths has always extended invitations to metalsmiths from the entire U.S. for their past exhibitions. With this 2008-2009 exhibition SMM is inviting the world to participate.
Good Luck, hope to see your work.

I have heard that there will an extended deadline date for applications. Is this true? Why do we have to hurry to make the June 30 date, if it's going to be extended. I'm not quite finished with my pieces and would love the extra time.

Yes, it's true The Society ofr Midwest Metalsmiths is planning to extend the deadline date to July 28, 2008. We have had a lot of pressure to do this. BUT the fee for the extended applications will be $50 for up to three images. The extra $10 is to cover the extra cost of the extra work to process the applications and get them ready for the jurors to view in an xcelerated time frame.

I am an artist and I would like to present three pieces for metal inclinations that are made basically by casting. Do you consider this silversmithing technique?

Yes, casting is considered a silversmithing and goldsmithing technique. Your pieces will be considered one-of a kind if you cast one of each design or hand finish and personalize each piece.
Good Luck, hope to see your work.

My favorite image that I would like to submit for the Metal Inclinations exhibition is already sold. May I submit this image, or does it have to be a piece that will be available for sale during the competition? i.e. Will I have to pull the items I submit from my shows this summer?
All three images I will be submitting are from the same line, which has its own artist statement. Should I customize the artist statement attached to each individual image to cover only the specific techniques that are evident in that particular piece, or is it acceptable to use the more general statement for each entry? For example, Some of my pieces use embossed leather, some use copper etching plates, and some use a combination of both materials. Should I remove references to the embossed leather in the artists statement accompanying the piece with just etched copper?
Thank you.

It does not matter if your image/s are sold already or sell throughout the year. All accepted images will remain on the site for one year. Customers visiting the site will see the type of work you do and be able to visit your personal or business site with a click from your "artist's page". If you do not have a personal or business web site you may use your email address for contact information.
I would set up a different artist's statement for each entered piece if your artist's statement is very specific and mentions material. If you have a general artist's statement, you can use the description area to tell more about each piece.
Hope this helps, good luck.

RE: Sizing images for application

Jun 10 2008, 9:22 PM EDT
Sizing your images depends a lot on the type of photo or imaging program you use. Generally you set the resolution to 300 dpi then set the dimensions to pixels instead of inches. If your pixel measurement for the longest side is under 1400 or 2000 pixels, you won't be able to successfully make your image larger. Just send the largest file you can up to that size.
If your pixel measurement is larger than 2000 pixels, just change the longest dimension to 2000 pixels, the other side will be changed proportionally.
The size of the image for the actual METAL Inclinations Exhibition website does not need to be as large. SMM will be will be using smaller and lower resolution images on the website (so they load quickly). Juried Art Services asks for high resolution images so the judges can view very clear images of your work.
Just send the best you have, if it's a good image the judges will be able to judge it. Good Luck, JAS has a tutorial on their site.
