CallforEntry.org™, also known as CaF�™ , is a Web-based service that allows organizations and administrators to easily and cost-effectively manage artist-application and jury processes related to calls for entry and other events. The service is especially designed for use with public art projects, artist fellowships, juried visual-arts competitions, and many other types of calls for entry.

Make some great art! Our state-wide jury will be looking at all media, with an eye towards durability and suitability for public settings.
Then take some good-quality, well-lit, unclutterred digital photographs that show your work at its best.
Upload these photos to your CaFE profile. Don't fear: CaFE provides technical help with formatting your images, help forums, and FAQs on their site to walk you through this step. They have also eased their image formatting requirements, so no need to "square" your images anymore!
