If this is your first time using CaFE, you will first need to create a Creative West account (it’s free) and then build your CaFÉ profile. This is the first step before you apply to a call for entry.

If you already have a Creative West account and a CaFÉ profile, you can log in and apply to a call for entry.

Steps to Apply:

1️⃣ Upload work samples to your portfolio.

2️⃣ Search for calls in the Creative West Opportunities Portal and apply to an opportunity.

3️⃣ Check out and submit.
