Please be sure to email us with any questions you may have. We will post most of your questions here so that everyone will get the benifits of the answers. Thank  you in advance for your participation!

  1. Does GGAF use Zapplication?
    • No, we do not use Zapplication. We have created our own process with Artists in mind. Our goal is to make the whole experience as simple and user-friendly as possible. We welcome your comments and suggestions. Email us anytime at faq@ggafresources.com

  2. What size & format do my photos need to be when I upload them to the online application?
    • We only ask that you submit your photos in JPEG format. If you have photos that have been formatted for Zapplication, they are accepted on our application. File size does not matter, so you do not need to resize your photos.

  3. What are the Jury & Booth fees?
    • The Jury fee is $30.00 and is due with your application. We except all major credit cards, debit cards, and e-checks through Paypal.
    • The booth fees are $250.00 for 10'x10'. You can reserve more than one booth once you have been accepted in the show.

  4. Is it required to number all prints that are copies of the original file? Please advise what is considered ‘reproduction’ via photography.
    • The rules that apply to original paintings, pastels, etc., apply to photographs as well. Reproductions, usually placed in bins, should be numbered and signed on their mats. Originals are usually framed and hung on the booth walls.

  5. Who will be Judging the show this year?
    1. Gene Koss,  Professor, Newcomb College, Tulane University, New Orleans
    2. Susan Harlan, Professor of Fine Art, Portland State University

  6. I am a 2007 award winner. Are award winners automatically accepted for 2008? If so, where on your application do I indicate that I am an award winner.
    • As an award winner from 2007, you do not have to pay $30 to be juried in, you will be auto-in. However, you do have to pay your booth fee of $250. Once the jurying has been completed (early June), you will receive notice to send in your booth fee and request your preferred site.

Helpful Tips

  1. Booth Display:
    • Your booth display photo must be included with your application. This photo is as important as your artwork photos for the Judges.
    • Be sure to get a good shot of your Booth with your artwork displayed. The less background scenery the better

  2. Photos of Artwork:
    • Make sure that you submit photos of artwork that you will be displaying at the festival.
    • The names of your photo files can not be in quotations or any other symbols. When you name photos please use only letters and/or numbers.
    • example of photo upload on application:

      You simply click the browse button to locate your image on your computer or CD and click to open.

      File Name

      You have the ability to name your photo. Please use letters and/or numbers only.


  3. Art Description:
    • We provide you with a text box on the online application for a description of your artwork. The best description you can provide for the Judges is a detailed "brief" description.Try to keep your description down to a couple of sentences if possible.
