Application Status Definitions
There are 15 statuses: Received, Invited, and Not Invited are the most commonly used. Invited and Not Invited are used to designate the final results of the jury.
Interchangeable with the Invited status. Artists are more familiar with and often prefer the Invited status. Can also be used in tandem with the Confirmation Deadline feature—when the Invited artist accepts the invitation they are moved to the Accepted status.
Entries will move to this status if the applicant selected the “pay by check” option at checkout. When you receive a check from an applicant, change the applicant’s status to Received.
Use after your jury if you have set the Confirmation Deadline feature to active in the Call Editor. When the Invited artist pays the additional fee, they are moved to the Confirmed status.
Use when an applicant declines an invitation.
Use if a received application needs to be modified after the deadline. When the applicant finishes making changes, you must manually change their application status back to Received.
Use if the application is exempt from the jury process.
Use if an artist needs to modify an application before the deadline. The applicant can then re-submit their application with changes.
Use after jurying to invite the applicant to participate and/or to indicate the artist has been selected as a finalist.
Use after jurying if the applicant is not invited to participate, has not been selected, and/or is not a finalist.
Can be used as a general placeholder or to group specific artists together.
Submitted applications appear in the Received status. Leave applications in this status to jury them.
Use to indicate when an entry has been reviewed.
Use to create a list of prequalified applicants. Allows the applicant to modify their active entries at any time until you move them to a different status. Used by roster calls only.
Use after jurying if the applicant is on the waitlist.
Use if the application has been withdrawn.
