Grant & Open Call
Built for the constraints of jury PDFs: a statement page, then one work per page with complete caption metadata.

Jury-friendly
File sizes stay reasonable, captions are consistent, and pages render the same on every device the jury opens.
Applications this template is built for
Arts council and foundation grants
Funders often ask for a statement plus a set number of images. This layout gives exactly that, in one PDF.
Open calls and juried exhibitions
Jurors review hundreds of entries. Consistent captions and one work per page make yours quick to assess.
Residency applications
Residencies want to see your current direction. Lead with a statement about the work you plan to make.
Example: a 10-image grant portfolio
An artist applying for a project grant might open with a 200-word statement about the proposed project, then ten recent works, each captioned with title, year, medium and dimensions — prices left out because the jury is judging the work, not the sales. (Illustrative example.)

Grant & Open Call template FAQ
Should a grant portfolio include prices?
Usually not. Juries assess artistic merit; leave the price field empty unless the call specifically asks for values.
How many images should I submit for a grant?
Follow the call exactly. Common limits are 10 to 20 images; going over can disqualify an application.
What if the call has a file size limit?
Use compressed JPG images before uploading to the builder and check the exported PDF size before you submit.
