We are a volunteer team and sometimes there are more folks helping out than others, so approvals can take some time (a few days to even a few weeks or more). There are currently 199 new art entries sitting in the queue, and yours are near the bottom.mpmcd wrote: ↑Sat Jun 03, 2023 10:04 amI have a question about adding new art.
In the past we've been informed via email when our submissions were accepted, however I have roughly 10 outstanding additions.
Do you let us know if there were issues with our submissions? It's going on multiple weeks for some of my additions and I have not heard one way or another....
Thanks,

Copying a bunch of this from another post a little while back, hope it's helpful:
The main reason art gets stuck in the queue is that it is missing information, including a release date. Our approval queue orders submissions in two ways. Submissions that have a release date (e.g. 2023-06-06) are ordered at the top, by release date, with the most recent releases ones first. The remaining submissions (those w/no release date) are ordered below it, in the order they are submitted. An entry with a 2010 release date will always appear before an entry with no release date—even if that entry with no release date was added a week ago.
The best way to expedite approval of an art entry is to take the time to follow the instructions and enter all of the information about it before you submit. Take a few minutes to find the release date (Artist’s IG is usually a good place to start), look up the run # (eBay?), enter the venue for gig prints (they are usually already an option in the database), and always check that your art title is in the proper format (Band City YR Artist, or Art Name YR Artist), which helps us prevent adding duplicates. If you submit a poster as “Star Wars” without the YR or Artist in the title line, and with no release date, it’ll always take longer to approve than if you had submitted it with all of the information in the first place.
Another issue we run into is multiple submissions for variants. When we get separate new art entries for those variants, it slows down the approval process. If a poster has several foil variants, for example, that can be noted in the “notes” field of one individual art entry (e.g. foil x/50 also sold at the show for $100). These should not be several new art submissions. If you need to add a printing to a pre-existing art entry, you should post in this thread, not submit an entirely new art listing.
Set to here
This is good information to know, thanks for sharing. Would it help to have a link to the artist page for the artwork or another webpage with relevant information to make verification easier? Possibly a non-public field as I've noticed links change often due to items selling out or being archived...
For instance, I summited a poster that was rejected due to a title confirmation. The print in question is titled "(In-Stereo)" with the parenthesis (a play on the Stereo markings on older records typically enclosed in parenthesis, I believe). Not that the title on this site needs to be displayed as such, I'll leave that up to you guys...
I could have included the following link for verification of some print details:
