Hi Logi man,

Yes, do to great demand we have extended the deadline until July 28, 2008, midnight PST. The fee for applications has gone up $10 to cover the costs for expediting the preparation of the late images and files. So the total fee will be $50 for up to three images.

Hi again, Guess what I didn't enter in time for the June 30 deadline. I hear there is an extended deadline of July 28, 2008? What's the deal?

Hi Logi_man,
Yes, you can enter blacksmithing work.

The Society for Midwest Metalsmiths has teamed with Juried Art Services to make the application process as easy as possible. JAS has tutorials on their site to help you with any questions or concerns.

It is not hard to have digital images made from slides. Just look in the yellow pages in your town for Photography Services, most provide this service. They will put the digital files on a CD. Be sure to follow Juried Art Service's requirements on size and resolution.

Good Luck!
