Open Call Terms
- Application Fee: A €10 non-refundable application fee is required to participate in our open call. This fee supports Munchies Art Club’s operations, enabling us to promote and feature selected artists across our platforms. In the event of a technical error resulting in duplicate payments or an overcharge, Munchies Art Club will issue a refund accordingly. However, application fees remain non-refundable in other cases, including non-selection.
- Selection Process: All submissions will be reviewed by a panel curated by Munchies Art Club. Selection criteria are based on artistic quality, relevance to contemporary art, and alignment with Munchies Art Club’s mission and audience. Submission does not guarantee selection, and all selection decisions are final.
- Usage Rights for Selected Artists: By submitting to our open call, artists grant Munchies Art Club permission to download and use submitted content, including images and videos, for promotional purposes on our website, social media platforms, newsletters, and other related media. This permission is non-exclusive, meaning artists retain full ownership of their work and are free to use it elsewhere. Selected artists agree to allow Munchies Art Club to edit, caption, and share this content in ways that highlight their artistic practice and enhance visibility.
- Optional Donation: As a community-driven platform, we offer selected artists the option to contribute additional financial support on a “Pay as You Want” basis. This donation is entirely voluntary and intended to support Munchies Art Club’s mission to discover and promote new talent. Voluntary donations are non-refundable.
- Communication and Engagement: Selected artists are required to confirm their participation and provide any requested information or permissions within a specified timeframe. Failure to respond or provide necessary permissions may result in forfeiting the selection, without refund of the application fee. We encourage timely responses to facilitate smooth scheduling and promotion.
- Confidentiality and Privacy: Munchies Art Club is committed to protecting the privacy of all applicants. Any personal information collected during the open call process will be handled securely and used exclusively for communication, selection, and promotional purposes related to the open call. We adhere to GDPR and other applicable data protection regulations to ensure the confidentiality and safety of all personal data.
- Revocation of Permission: If an artist wishes to revoke permission for content use after selection, they must contact Munchies Art Club in writing. Requests will be considered on a case-by-case basis, and while we aim to respect artists’ wishes, removal of already-published content may not always be feasible.
- Dispute Resolution: In case of any disputes regarding the open call process, fees, or usage of submitted content, applicants agree to contact Munchies Art Club directly to seek resolution. We are committed to fair and respectful communication and will work with artists to address concerns.
By submitting to the open call, applicants acknowledge and accept these terms, understanding the structure and purpose of the application fee, and agree to Munchies Art Club’s usage and selection processes.
