Glossary Of Art Terms [1]

Call for Entry A call for entry is a formal invitation or announcement issued by an organization, institution, gallery, or competition organizer to solicit submissions of artwork, proposals, or projects for consideration in an upcoming exhibition, event, or creative opportunity. Calls for entry typically specify the theme, criteria, and submission guidelines for prospective participants, including deadlines, entry fees (if applicable), format requirements, and selection criteria.

Artists, designers, and creatives may respond to calls for entry by submitting portfolios, images, descriptions, or proposals of their work for review and consideration by a jury, panel of judges, or selection committee. Calls for entry serve as a means of promoting artistic engagement, fostering community participation, and providing opportunities for emerging and established artists to showcase their talents, gain exposure, and contribute to the cultural dialogue within their respective fields of practice.
