We are so excited you registered as a 4ever11 artist!

Now that you are registered, we CAN’T WAIT to see what kind of amazing art you’re planning to submit.  So, if you’re ready, please proceed with submitting your art HERE!

As you are preparing your submission, please know that we have a team that will be looking to ensure your art meets all of the 4ever11 requirements:

• Be your ORIGINAL inspiration and work. You must be the creator of the piece and it must not be a copy of work belonging to anyone else.
• Reflect “authentic” artistic effort, in any visual medium. The 4ever11 Curation Team has the final say on what constitutes “authentic artistic effort,” but essentially… no “symbolic paint blobs” without a really compelling story behind what went into the piece and why it’s worthy of being included in a collection with limited spots available.
• Be in quality, digital format; .jpg or .png with a max file size of 25MB. All visual mediums are welcome (i.e.: acrylic, watercolor, oil paint, pencil/colored pencil, pen & ink, digital, 3D, mixed media, etc.) as long as it can be captured as a high-quality image, scanned, or photographed digitally. For best results, we recommend utilizing a flatbed scanner and capturing at the highest resolutions possible. The quality of the digital capture will be a critical factor in the consideration of approved pieces; pieces must be free from angle distortion, glare, shadows, etc.
• Be sized with a 1:1 aspect ratio (length = width, i.e. “square”).
• Be family-friendly in nature. While 4ever11 recognizes the value of art to express a wider range of moods and subjects, the 4ever11 brand reflects joy/optimism and is appropriate for all audiences. As collectors migrate to your platforms, they will be able to see your full range of artistic expression.
• Be submitted along with the “story” of the piece. The prompts on the submission form, below, will guide you on what to share.

NOTE:  The #1 reason we reject submissions is not about the quality of the art, but the quality of the digital capture (scan/photo). (We recommend using a flatbed scanner with the highest possible resolution. If the piece cannot be scanned, then a high-resolution picture -with no shadows and at a “straight-on” angle- can be taken.)  When creating your digital capture, use your own judgment and ask yourself, “Would I pay money for this version of this piece?”

*Regarding “Family-Friendly”: While we appreciate and value the role of art in expressing and managing a much wider array of content of emotions, the 4ever11 brand is family-friendly (appropriate for ALL age groups and audiences) and reflects joy/optimism. As collectors migrate to your platforms, they will be able to see your full range of artistic expression.

We are so excited to see your art, so when you’re ready, please submit your art HERE.

Welcome to 4ever11!

Most sincerely,

Brian Winter
