How to Submit

2. After completing the Humanitix checkout process, you will need to print a copy of your Humanitix "Exhibit a Postcard" ticket. Please note: Depending on the answer you select for the question, "Will your artwork be on sale at the Postcard Fair?", there will be blank spaces on your "Exhibit a Postcard" ticket that you will need to complete after printing. These blank spaces will include the sale price for your postcard, and if relevant, permission for someone else to sell or collect your postcard artwork on your behalf.
