With so many submissions to review, curators need to be efficient. Here are three common mistakes to avoid to increase your chances of success:
- Complete Submissions: Ensure that your submission includes all required elements and is free of errors or oversights.
- Accurate Information: Check and double-check that all information you provide is correct and up-to-date.
