FAQs

QImportant notice about our NEW online entry system:

Starting March 2024, we have transitioned to a new online entry system for all Artists Network competitions. We will no longer be using Submittable to manage our contests.

However, if you’ve previously entered an Artists Network competition via Submittable, you will still have access to your account and entry records when you log in to the Submittable platform.

Moving forward, please enter and manage your entries on Award Force. This new platform offers improved features such as entering multiple entries at once and editing your entries up until the closing deadline of a contest.

If you have any questions or concerns about this switch, please don’t hesitate to contact us at [email protected]. We’re here to assist you every step of the way.

Thank you for your attention to this update, and we look forward to your continued participation in Artists Network competitions1
