The Process, in Brief

  1. Sign in with your Guild account and start a submission. A number is issued and reserved for you.
  2. Upload your completed Creative and Design Briefs, with dimensioned drawings.
  3. The Guild reviews and either returns feedback or authorizes the build.
  4. On authorization, build the frame and mail it with a $150 check or money order, marked Attn: Standards.
  5. Receipt is logged, the frame is judged blind, and the verdict appears on your status page.
