See below for brief guides on:How to Apply to an opportunity
We recommend reading the commission document for any opportunity listing on our site prior to applying. Sometimes, commissioners post opportunities on CODAworx and accidentally set them to accept applications on our site, even when they have portal on a different website.
Opportunities hosting applications on CODAworx will ask for samples of existing artworks. You can enter CODAworx projects - draft or published - as worksamples. You can also upload new worksamples when you apply to opportunities. Worksamples uploaded this way will be saved on your profile as Draft Projects.
