On October 1, NYC’s apexart will accept submissions for their [Unsolicited Proposal Program](http://engine.nectarads.com/r?e=eyJhdiI6MzMzMywiYXQiOjIwLCJidCI6MCwiY20iOjE1NTc2MCwiY2giOjE5MzAsImNyIjo1Mzc5MTQsImRtIjo0LCJmYyI6NTQ1NjMxLCJmbCI6Mjg2ODMzLCJpcCI6IjU0LjIwNC4xMjkuMTQiLCJudyI6MjA3LCJwYyI6MCwicHIiOjE2NjYsInJ0IjoxLCJzdCI6MCwidXIiOiJodHRwOi8vYXBleGFydC5vcmcvdW5zb2xpY2l0ZWQucGhwIiwicmUiOjF9&s=ItlTlNZXwNx48EngYHdKck9g8xA&ref=hyperallergic.com), a call for exhibition proposals from anyone, anywhere. No prior curatorial experience necessary.

Now in its 18th year, apexart’s Unsolicited Proposal Program uses a democratic process to determine the upcoming exhibition season:

- Submit a proposal for an idea-driven, group exhibition.
- Submissions consist of up to 500 words of text, no images or links accepted.
- Exhibition proposals will be accepted from October 1 – November 1, 2014.
- apexart will assemble an international jury of over 100 creative professionals who will vote on each submission online.
- apexart’s custom-made computer script analyzes the votes and determines which three proposals received the highest scores.
- Those three winners will receive financial and administrative support to mount their exhibition in apexart’s Manhattan space.

To submit an exhibition proposal, visit [**apexart.org/unsolicited**](http://engine.nectarads.com/r?e=eyJhdiI6MzMzMywiYXQiOjIwLCJidCI6MCwiY20iOjE1NTc2MCwiY2giOjE5MzAsImNyIjo1Mzc5MTQsImRtIjo0LCJmYyI6NTQ1NjMxLCJmbCI6Mjg2ODMzLCJpcCI6IjU0LjIwNC4xMjkuMTQiLCJudyI6MjA3LCJwYyI6MCwicHIiOjE2NjYsInJ0IjoxLCJzdCI6MCwidXIiOiJodHRwOi8vYXBleGFydC5vcmcvdW5zb2xpY2l0ZWQucGhwIiwicmUiOjF9&s=ItlTlNZXwNx48EngYHdKck9g8xA&ref=hyperallergic.com) starting on **October 1.**
