NAWA - Approved Artwork Labels and Submission Guidelines/Assistance

The below NAWA-approved artwork labels can be saved directly from this page to use with your submissions.

To print these labels, place your cursor on the image of the labels, and drag them to your desktop, or right click on them and save this JPG file to your desktop. For large pieces of artwork, printing two per page will provide you with half sheet size labels. Changing your settings to four labels per page results in a size that works well with most pieces of artwork.

These labels are also found within the submission guidelines for each NAWA submission entry.

To edit the Artwork Labels and print them out on your computer, you can follow the instructions below:

Open the JPG file in the Photos app or another image viewer.

Click the Print option.

In the printer list, select Microsoft Print to PDF.

Choose your desired page size and margins and click Print to save the PDF file.

Click File in the menu bar, then select Export as PDF. 

2. Add Text to the PDF
