活動主題
For over 150 years, artists have played an important role in the establishment of our state and national parks, inspiring people to visit iconic natural sites, and to protect our natural resources. Subject matter must be related to the landscape, environment, wildlife and people of Yosemite National Park and the California Sierra Nevada region.
Both representational and non-representational submissions are allowed. We encourage artist who apply to celebrate the beauty and wonder of nature through art, but also to consider and explore environmental issues, ecology, biology, forestry, current events, political, spiritual and cultural themes.
Contributing artists should be aware of the geographic range of the show. While the nexus of the exhibit is Yosemite, the scope of the show also includes Sequoia National Park, Sierra National Forest, Ansel Adams Wilderness, Mono Lake, Bodie, the White Mountains, and more. The high Sierra, east side and west side foothills and canyons from Lake Tahoe to Tehachapi are all included! The area is huge, consisting of hundreds of thousands of acres of rugged peaks, deep valleys, forests, chaparral, deserts, lakes and streams. If your work is inspired by these places, it will be considered.
Mastery of traditional media, technical expertise, style and personal vision are important factors in the selection process. One of the goals of Yosemite Renaissance is to encourage innovation. Jurors will consider the use of new tools, technologies, materials and techniques.

報名方式
THE FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS RELATE TO COMPLETING THE ENTRY FORM ON SMARTERENTRY.COM. PLEASE REVIEW THEM BEFORE AND DURING THE APPLICATION PROCESS.
Entry is through SmarterEntry.com only. No other types of submission will be accepted.
Entry Fees and Procedures
Each artist is limited to eight entries. No more than two entries from any artist will be accepted for inclusion in the exhibit.
The cost for the first entry is $25. Additional entries (up to 8) are $15 each. Entry fees are non-refundable. Payment is by credit card through SmarterEntry.com. Payment is the FIRST STEP in the submission process, before documents or images can be submitted.
Artist Statement and Artist Biography
These two documents must be submitted BEFORE your images can be uploaded.
Your Artist Statement should be specific to the work submitted for the exhibit, describing the subject, your inspiration, approach and technique.
Your Artist Biography should include more general information of your career as an artist, including education, philosophy, history, and other highlights you consider important.
Image Requirements
Artists must submit one digital file for each piece of artwork entered. Please review the Image Format guidelines on SmarterEntry.com when you submit. PLEASE NOTE: We do not need to see the mat or frame in the digital submission, unless you feel it is a critical component of the work. Including the frame in the submission takes up space, can distort or obscure the image, and makes it harder for us to use the image for marketing purposes.
Digital files must be in a .jpg format. Each image must be less than 8 megabytes in size. We recommend dimensions of at least 1280 pixels on the long side. Higher resolution is OK as long as the file size does not exceed 8 megabytes. Do not submit images smaller than 800 pixels on the long side.
There is a special feature on SmarterEntry.com for 3D submissions that allows multiple images to be "stitched together" in order to show multiple views of a piece. Please be aware that this shrinks the images in order to combine them. We may request higher resolution images if the work is selected for the exhibit. If you are submitting 2 dimensional works, DO NOT select this option.
File Names
Please use your artwork TITLE as your filename. Do not use special characters. Letters, numbers, and spaces only. Please review the Image Format guidelines on SmarterEntry.com when you submit.
NOTE – The most common mistake when applying through SmarterEntry.com is the order of the steps required to apply. 1 – Pay first, 2 – upload the required documents, 3 – upload you images and fill out the related information.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING THE JURY PROCESS, JUDGING, SHIPPING, AND DISPLAY REQUIREMENTS. PLEASE READ BEFORE FRAMING AND PREPARING YOUR WORK FOR TRANSPORT.
以下說明涉及填寫 SMARTERENTRY.COM 上的報名表。請在申請之前和申請過程中查看它們。

只能透過SmarterEntry.com參與。不接受其他類型的提交。

報名費用和程序
每位藝術家僅限八件參賽作品。任何藝術家的作品不得超過兩件被納入展覽。

首次參賽費用為 25 美元。額外參賽作品（最多 8 件）每件收費 15 美元。報名費不退還。透過SmarterEntry.com使用信用卡付款。付款是提交過程的第一步，然後才能提交文件或圖像。

藝術家聲明和藝術家傳記
必須在上傳圖像之前提交這兩個文件。

您的藝術家陳述應該針對為展覽提交的作品，描述主題、您的靈感、方法和技術。

您的藝術家傳記應包括您作為藝術家的職業生涯的更多一般信息，包括教育、哲學、歷史和您認為重要的其他亮點。

圖片要求
藝術家必須為每一件參賽作品提交一份數位文件。提交時，請查看SmarterEntry.com 上的圖像格式指南。請注意：我們不需要在數位提交中看到墊子或框架，除非您認為它是作品的關鍵組成部分。在提交內容中包含框架會佔用空間，可能會扭曲或模糊圖像，並使我們更難將圖像用於行銷目的。

SmarterEntry.com 上有一個針對 3D 提交的特殊功能，允許將多個圖像「拼接在一起」以顯示一件作品的多個視圖。請注意，這會縮小圖像以便合併它們。如果作品被選中展出，我們可能會要求更高解析度的圖像。如果您提交的是二維作品，請勿選擇此選項。

檔案名稱
請使用您的作品標題作為您的檔案名稱。不要使用特殊字元。僅限字母、數字和空格。提交時，請查看SmarterEntry.com 上的圖像格式指南。

注意 – 透過 SmarterEntry.com 申請時最常見的錯誤是申請所需步驟的順序。1 – 先付款，2 – 上傳所需文件，3 – 上傳您的圖片並填寫相關資訊。
