    1. Place your work in horizontal pages (unless the original work is vertical) as most of the applications are initially viewed on a horizontal screen (laptop);
    2. Make sure you put only one or two works per page (combining too many works makes the page illegible);
    3. Insert title, material, size, and year of the work next to or under the image on the same page. You may also include a short description of the work.
    4. Double-check your links in the final PDF before submitting it. If links do not work, 1646 cannot review your application correctly and properly. The links should be active for at least up to two months after the deadline has passed.
