Suggestions for photographers to prepare for, and information about, the review event:
Photographers will wait in a line behind a reviewer they want to see. If that line is long and you see a reviewer that is available, jump out of line and go see them - you never know!
You will see approx 7 to 10 people, depending on wait time. There is no guarantee which reviewers you will see.
You will have 10 minutes to present your work to each reviewer, listen to their comments, and ask questions. A 'one minute warning' will be given
We recommend bringing one body of work with 10 to 20 images - big enough that they get a sense but not so big that it is difficult to get through in the time available.
No portfolio over 16x20 will be allowed for ease of reviewers.
Make the packing material easy to get through so as not to slow down the review. Time spent on packing/unpacking is included in your 10 minutes.
Bring leave behinds and leave behind your ego! This is about getting advice and making connections - if someone doesn't respond to your work, ask why but don't pressure them- this might be common sense but some people start arguing with reviewers and that doesn't really work out so well.
Bring your resume, bio and statements. These should be easily organized because time spent searching for them is included in your 10 minutes.
Also remember to bring leave behinds for the people you didn't get to see.
Read the reviewer bios, below, some of which list the type of work the reviewers are interested in seeing.
We recommend you 'google' the reviewers ahead of time to learn more about them.

Be nice, be proactive, be positive and yes you can be a bit naughty. Negativity, tackiness and insecurity will get you nowhere in the ART World!
