Step 2 of 3
Image upload
As you'll be featured on our website and in our annual brochure, we need you to provide us with a few images as part of your application. Please ensure you read the directions below before continuing.
YOUR IMAGES
Please read all these notes before uploading your images. Incorrect naming and incorrect types of file costs us a great deal of time to resolve, so we’d appreciate it if you could follow these instructions carefully.
You will upload images as part of the application procedure. These will be uploaded to, and stored in, our Dropbox folder. You do not need a Dropbox account yourself to upload images.
As you are making an Individual application you will be required to upload three images.
NAMING YOUR IMAGE FILES
IMPORTANT - You must include your artist name in the filename for every image you upload. If you don’t we will not be able to tell which are your images and connect with your application. You will need to set the name of the image file on your computer before uploading it to our Dropbox folder. You can’t change the name of it as part of the upload process.
Please name your image files in this format ‘Artist Name_Image Title’.
For example ‘Alex Ebdon_Morning Light’
IMPORTANT - You must specify which single image you’d prefer to feature in the brochure by including ‘Brochure’ in the filename for this image, along with your name and image title.
For example ‘Alex Ebdon_Morning Light_BROCHURE’
Please note that if you do not specify which image you’d like as your brochure image then the BEAT committee will have to choose one of your images for you.

UPLOADING YOUR IMAGES
Click on the link below where it says ‘CLICK HERE TO UPLOAD’ to upload your images to the pop-up window that appears. Make sure you have any pop-up blockers disabled for this. Please be patient, as your images may take a little time to upload.
Once you’ve selected/dropped all your chosen images into the Dropbox pop-up window, be sure to click the ‘Upload’ button at the bottom of that window. Otherwise your images won’t upload.
Once you have uploaded your images you can close the pop-up window and then click the button below to proceed to payment
