Eligibility: MEMBERS ONLY (unless solicited by curator)
To be considered for the exhibition, you must join cWOW by January 30, 2008 as an artist member with a minimum annual donation of $35 for individual members or $25 for students and seniors. As an artist member, your work will be part of our registry, and will be reviewed by every curator for every show that you select within one year of joining. Your chances of being selected for a show are better than 50\% (though never guaranteed, because of our independent curatorial process). This process ensures high-quality, independent selection, while also building our membership base, providing crucial support for programming such as this. Your donations are tax-deductible to the full extent of the law. Artist registry materials, including images, videos, and more, can now be uploaded to our website after joining, and will soon be available for public viewing. See other member benefits and join online at www.cwow.org.

All artists are invited to submit a video project of any genre no longer than 1 minute including title and credits. All work must have been completed in the past three years.
