Anyone can submit artwork for the exhibtion. Prepare high-resolution JPEG-files. The longer side of the image should be more than 4000 pixels up until 8000 pixels. If you&#8217;re unsure, contact Masaki.<\/p>\n<p>You upload all files to the FTP, as per <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/document\/d\/1AGutBnr6GqYF-gpSh-5iC2mf8Hl1kBDfh54mdwW1798\/edit\">the delivery instructions<\/a>, under the &#8220;VR Art Wall Submissions&#8221;-folder, create a new folder with your name and year. Put up to 5 high resolution images there, and a text file with art titles and descriptions (material, tools, context). The descriptions are shown on a plaque next to the piece. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Some advice for showing game art at the GGC:<\/strong><br \/>\nOnly bring your absolute best work! One masterpiece is far superior to five or even three mediocre pieces. If you hope to get noticed by a certain studio or person; carefully analyze their art style and do similar.<\/p>\n<p>If you want to be a character designer, show character design. While being jack of all trades certainly can land you a job, if you for example hate doing environments, don\u2019t market yourself as an environmental artist.<\/p>\n<p>Your art is a reflection of you. If you display only objectified women, or strong characters that are exploiting the weak, that is ok, but be prepared with answers if someone ask you why you chose that theme. (\u201cBut it\u2019s just a picture, it doesn\u2019t mean anything!\u201d is not a good answer.)<\/p>\n<h3>Hype and social media<\/h3>\n<p>Help us bring in more audience by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/events\/760653087461570\/\">joining and <strong>sharing<\/strong> the Facebook event<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/ti.to\/campus-gotland-game\/ggc2018\/\">register your friends<\/a> so they can come to the awards and party too, follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/campusgotlandgame\/\">CampusGotlandGAME on Instagram<\/a>, post your work-in-progress in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/explore\/tags\/GGConf18\/\">#GGConf18-tag<\/a>), and tweet at <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/GotlandGAME\">GotlandGAME<\/a> and hashtag <strong>#GGConf18<\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You have to apply to exhibit a game at Gotland Game Conference.
