Entry Requirements

Artists are limited to a maximum of two entries. There is a $40.00 (CAD) non-refundable fee for each entry.

• Entry fees are waived for Members of the Saskatchewan Craft Council in good standing at the time of entry
• Artists may apply to become a member in lieu of paying the entry fee(s). Learn more about additional membership benefits and complete the application form here. You may also select "I want to become a member" on this form - SCC staff will then assist you with an application for membership.
• Non-members who do not want to become members can pay entry fees through our shopify store at the end of the form or can click here to pay.

The deadline for submission of the entry form is March 24, 2025. 
Applicable entry fees must be paid in full by April 1, 2025. Entries with outstanding fees past this deadline will not be included for consideration by the jurors.

COLLABORATION
Craftspeople/artists can enter collaborative works – all collaborators must be listed at the time of application. Collaborative works count as one entry for each artist, but only require one entry fee paid per entry. In order to enter with no fee, all collaborators must be members of the Saskatchewan Craft Council in good standing. If a collaboration work is selected for exhibition, one artist royalty is to be shared between collaborators.

The Saskatchewan Craft Council encourages creative freedom and respectful collaboration. CARFAC has outlined the principles of responsible creative collaboration with Indigenous and other cultures:
1. Free prior and informed consent;
2. Shared control over process and product;
3. Acknowledgement and attribution;
4. Respect for cultural differences; and
5. Reciprocity and benefit sharing.
It is expected that all Dimensions entries meet these standards in the creation of the work. More information on CARFAC’s appropriation guide can be found here.

SIZE LIMITATION
Submissions are restricted to a weight limit of no more than 75 pounds. The
Saskatchewan Craft Council reserves the right to exclude any entry that presents significantly complex installation or would not be reasonably and safely withstand shipping. Please contact us if you would like more information.
Works accepted for exhibition must be ready to install, prepared with instructions for installation or suitably framed. Two-dimensional work must be framed and have hanging hardware (e.g. picture wire) installed.

IMAGES
Minimum 3 images, maximum 10 images.
Please include at least one of the following for each entry:

• Presentation view - how a viewer would look at the piece or approach it in a gallery.
• Detail image - show the jurors something you are proud of - seams, textures, details...
• Underside/back finishing - show the jurors the back or the bottom of your entry - whichever area shows your finishing work appropriately. E.g., a quilter may photograph the back of their piece; a ceramic artist may show the bottom of a finished pot.

The SCC will accept video files to provide additional information about a piece. You may wish to do this if your piece is very large and complex and therefore difficult to photograph; or if your piece requires mobility or interaction so we can understand the full functionality of the work (e.g. a mobile or a piece with electronics, motion detectors, etc.) Only one video file per entry will be accepted and is not required. Follow this link for detailed image requirements and helpful tips on how to photograph your work at home.

JURYING PROCESS
All works will be subject to the jurying process based on the electronic submission. The jurors will select a number of works for the second round of jurying, which takes place in-person at the Saskatchewan Craft Council Gallery in Saskatoon. Artists who's works have been selected for in-person jurying will be notified no later than Tuesday, April 8, 2025. Works must be properly packaged and delivered to the SCC by Wednesday, April 30, 2025. 

Dimensions is a “blind jury” – this means that jurors will not be aware of the name or artistic history of the person who made the work. The Saskatchewan Craft Council reserves the right to use digital images of submitted work for any activity related to Dimensions programming. Please refrain from posting about your entry on social media until after jurying is finalized.

The jurors’ decision on selections from the entries is final.

Pronouns: Why do we ask for this information?

We ask every craftsperson or artist we work with how they would like to be addressed, for the simple purpose of making sure we use the most respectful language when discussing their work and practice.

Every person uses pronouns to describe themselves and others, whether these are the most common personal pronouns we know (she/her, he/him, they/them) or just the many types of pronouns that we use in every day language (We, My, Mine, Ours, I, You). 

If you'd like to know more about how personal pronouns relate to gender identity, click here.

Entry #1 Images

Seeing the work is the most important part of any jury. The SCC has prided
ourselves on being able to offer in-person jurying for over 30 years. We recognize that there are challenges with online jurying and we hope to provide jurors with as much visual information as possible so they can make professional and informed selections.

Each entry must include at least one of the following:
1. Presentation view image (how a viewer would look at the piece or approach it in a gallery)
2. Detail image (show the jurors something you are proud of - seams, texture, details, complexities)
3. Underside/back/finishing (show the bottom of your piece, or the back of your piece; pick an area that shows the jurors your finishing.)
E.g. quilters should show jurors the finishing of the back of their piece; ceramic artists should show jurors the underside of a pot, so they can see how the bottom is finished. Please select the appropriate perspective for your work.

Please ensure you have at least one of each of the above, and consider including additional images (up to 10 images total) that provide more perspectives of your work.

Image Size Requirements
Please ensure each image you submit is the following:
File type: JPEG, JPG, PNG, MP4
Image size: 1500 pixels wide maximum
File size: 11MB maximum per photo; video files are limited to 30MB maximum (approximatly 10 seconds)

File Naming
Please ensure each image you submit is titled as follows:
Title#_media.jpg 
E.g., if your title is “Solar System” and it is a glass blown piece, the first photo file should be named:
"Solarsystem01_glass.jpg"
The second and third images should be:
"Solarsystem02_glass.jpg"
"Solarsystem03_glass.jpg" and so on.
If you use a variety of craft media to accomplish your work, please use the word “mixedm” for mixed media.

Reminder: Dimensions is a "blind jury." Photographs and file names must not include any personal identifying information (example: names, contact info, etc.)

If you have selected "one entry" you will be brought to a thank you page - your submission has been received. You will receive a confirmation email for your entry soon. If you have selected "two entries," you will be redirected to a second form for Entry #2. Please fill out that second form and press submit. You will receive a confirmation email for each entry.
