I’m always so pleased when using ShowSubmit to jury an exhibition…you make the process easy and seamless. Thank you!! Lyn Asselta, PSA MP, IAPS EP Juror & Master Pastelist
We looked at a couple of online submission platforms. We chose ShowSubmit because entrants didn’t have to resize their images. What we didn’t realize at the time, was they offered so much more. Gina Murrow Pastel Society Alaska (PSAK)
I would also like to express my appreciation for the ShowSubmit platform. I have found it to be a seamless and efficient process...I wish all my entries could be done through ShowSubmit! Allison Krajcik Award-winning Pastelist

One of the very best jurying sites I’ve used. User friendly and very intuitive, it allowed me to spend my time looking at submissions rather than wrestling with unnecessarily complex technology. John Salminen Award-winning artist & juror, Watercolor Society of Alabama (WSA)

Minnetrista hosts two juried art shows each year, and the level of coordination and time needed for each can be a hassle! ShowSubmit allows us to work with artists and jurors in a way that is both easy and efficient, saving us valuable time and energy. Sebastián E. Encina Director of Curation & Exhibition, Minnetrista Museum & Gardens (MMG)
I want to let you know how thrilled everyone has been with ShowSubmit. Our first rollout using it went perfectly. It's a great platform. Renee Crawford Exhibition Chair, Fine Arts League of Cary (FALC)
