BEFORE YOU APPLY
A few useful answers.
Is this a formal collection application?
This is an initial expression of interest. The team will explain any separate submission and selection requirements.
Can I send an Instagram or portfolio link?
Yes. An optional public link is enough for an introduction. Do not send confidential work or files you do not have permission to share.
Does an enquiry guarantee selection or coverage?
No. A showcase, buyer introduction or media appearance is not guaranteed by submitting an enquiry.
SHOW YOUR WORK / CFW COMMUNITY

Your application or enquiry stays private. Choose what to share in a separate public profile.
YOUR NEXT STEP
