This page is for admin purposes for the Global Warming is REAL: National Encaustic/Wax Juried Exhibition.
Please refer to the Call for Art if you’d like to see what the entrants were instructed to submit for your consideration.

In addition to the instructions I emailed you, here are some basics to get you started:
When you have logged in, you will see the Call for art for “Global Warming is REAL: National Encaustic/Wax Juried Exhibition”. It will have your name(s) and a button to the right of the title of the show that says “Jury this call”. Click that to begin the jury process.
Once you’ve clicked the “Jury this call” button you should see the “categories” listed.
You’ll be looking at pieces from all the categories – it’s broken down into categories mainly to give you an overview of the type of work submitted for the show. If you want to round your choices out so that you have something from each category that’s fine, but not absolutely necessary – it’s up to you whatever you feel makes the best showing.
To get started just click the links for each category.
If you need additional instructions, watch this video:https://vimeo.com/54216859 You’ll also find the juror instruction video (once you’ve logged in) if you click on “Help” from the menu.
- The entrants were allowed to enter 1 , 2 or 3 pieces for consideration. They should not have included detail (close-up) views they should only have the full-view images of the 1, 2 or 3 pieces they are entering – but entrants don’t always follow instructions so if you see something that appears to be a detail image – score it as 0 and ignore it as far as scoring purposes. For example, entry #9102.476112, the artist has only one piece that they’re entering but they included two detail/close-up views – so you’ll see three images for that entry. The details are marked as “side view” and “3/4 view.” This is the only person for this show that I know of who included additional detail views despite the instruction not to.
- Entrants were required to submit a brief statement about how their work relates to the theme. EntryThingy has a very limited number of characters allowed for these statements, so we will have some statements sent to us that we will email you. We will email you these PDF documents once the entries close and we send you the juror instructions. The statements will be noted with the entrant’s number so the process will remain anonymous. You will see the statement written at the top of each entry under the entry number and media. For anyone who sent in a separate statement we asked that they put something like “entry sent separately” in that section. I will send you those via email, I think there were ten of them.
- The Selection Process: The main criteria we suggest you use to assess the work: the quality of the work, how well the work relates to the theme of the exhibition, and how well it contributes to the overall cohesiveness of the exhibit. If you have other additional factors that you want to consider, that is perfectly fine with us. Your selections are entirely up to your artistic discretion.
- The jury process: select works using a numerical scoring range of 0-5. A piece with a score of 5 will indicate it has been accepted. Any piece with a score of 0 will not be accepted into the show. Beyond those basics, you may choose the steps for how to arrive at your final choices of accepted or not accepted. For example, if you have strong feelings (one way or the other) about an entry, you can mark the 0’s and 5’s right away. For those you’re not sure of, you could score those between 1-4. That way if you’d like to do multiple rounds of scoring before you arrive at a final decision, you have some options to sort the entries. For example you could keep all the entries scored only between 3-5’s, and sort to remove any with scores below a 3. The next round you sort to eliminate anything below a 4, etc. ending up with only 5’s for accepted, 0’s for those that are not accepted. The bottom line, though, it is up to you whichever method you want to use to arrive at your choices. We will give you a range for the total number of pieces we can accommodate in our gallery space, but the final choices will be yours.
