ANNOUNCING THE 2020 CLICK! VIRTUAL PORTFOLIO REVIEWS
We are pleased to announce that the 2020 Click! Portfolio Reviews will be taking place in a virtual format in 2020, on October 15th and 16th. Registration opens at 9am on August 22. We have had to dramatically change the format to address the current pandemic. We are going to outline some of the format changes for this year.
We will keep our format of 30 minute sessions with 5 minute breaks between sessions. We have a confirmed list of 22 stellar reviewers for 2020 and the reviews will be limited to 21 Reviewees. The sessions will take place in prescheduled zoom sessions. In order to do our best to recreate the social connection and networking aspect of the Click! Reviews, we are going to have an ongoing open virtual photo lounge for artists to congregate during the review days. We will have a meeting manager that can facilitate breakout sessions and we will encourage the sharing of work among your peers.

Tips and Tricks:
- We have reduced the fee to $250 to be a part of the virtual reviews.
- Each artist is still guaranteed 10 reviews!
- Once registered we will ask you to rank your reviewers in order of preference.
- Artists are required to upload portfolio/s to their own dropbox account and share those with us with admin access so that we can then share them with our reviewers. You have options in how you upload your folios. You can upload more than one folio, in individual folders. You can upload bodies of work (we recommend 20 images as an ideal amount) in images sizes of 800px on the longest side, or you can upload pdfs of folios if sequencing is important to your presentation. We recommend including an artists statement with each portfolio.
- Reviewers will have the option of viewing your work before your session and to be in control of the flow of the session, by accessing your dropbox folders and sharing their screens with you.
