What will happen to my art submission

All submissions will be stitched to create a wall hanging that will be displayed at SATIREV events to show case the Theme 'BEING A WOMEN'. Once we have stopped showcasing 'Being a Woman', we will think of other ways to continue to share the submissions. This may lead to the collection being restructured or modified.

Can I get my artwork back?

Since all artworks will be combined to form a collaborative piece, we will not be able to return submissions to the artists. Please submit only those art pieces that you are willing to donate to SATIREV for the 'Being a Woman' project.

Will I get credit for my work?

All artists will be credited as collaborators on the 'Being a Women' art piece. Please make sure to include the name you wish to have published; you can write it on the 2-inch border or pin it to your artwork. Any artworks without a name will be listed as Anonymous.

Will I have to attend SATIREV Events?
