Understanding Submission Statuses
Every submission carries a status that tells you where it stands. You can see all of them on My Submissions on your dashboard. This guide explains what each status means, how the dashboard groups them, and when a decision becomes visible to you.
How your submissions are grouped
Four tabs sit above the list, each showing its own count:
- All is everything.
- Pending is work you have started on a call that charges a fee, where the fee has not been paid. If nothing is here, you owe nothing.
- Active is work that is with the organization and waiting on a result.
- Completed is work that has reached an outcome: announced decisions, submissions you withdrew, and pieces the organization recorded as not received.
Above the tabs, summary cards count your Total Submissions, Pending Payment, Under Review, Accepted and Total Fees Paid. The accepted count only includes decisions that have actually been announced to you.
You can narrow the list by gallery and by date range, and Clear Filters resets both.
The statuses
Draft You have started a submission but not sent it. Only you can see it. Keep editing, or delete it.
Pending Payment Your submission is complete and waiting on the fee. A Pay Now button appears beside it, along with Add to Cart or Go to Cart. Nothing reaches the organization until the payment goes through.
Submitted The organization has your submission. On a call without a jury, this is where your submission sits until a result is announced.
Under Review Your work is with the jury. On a juried call, this is what you see from the point review begins until the organization announces its decisions.
Accepted Your work was selected. If the call defers its fee until acceptance, a Pay entry fee button appears here. See Charging the entry fee on acceptance for how that works.
Waitlisted Your work is held in reserve. If an accepted artist withdraws or plans change, the organization may come back to you.
Rejected Your work was not selected this time. On calls that offer feedback, it appears with the submission.
