Create a collection (folder) for your artwork by clicking "Create New". Provide a name for the collection and upload a thumbnail image (best size: 600x600px). If you want to publish artwork under an existing collection, select the previously created collection.

### Title

### Description

Provide information related to the artwork (max 650 characters)

* Artwork details
* Terms for collecting/purchasing
* Relevant links to the artwork if applicable

{% hint style="info" %}
Writing a description for your work is highly recommended, as the chosen words will be integrated into the work's metadata. This enhances the work's visibility and improves its discoverability.
{% endhint %}

### Price

Define the price of your Artwork. Setting the price as 0 ETH still earns you protocol rewards for every mint. [You can read more about pricing here.](/knowledge-base/publishing-artwork/create/pricing.md)

### Mint Duration

Choose how long your artwork will be available for collection by others.\
\
If you choose Open Edition and set the edition size to 100 in the next section, the collection remains public until 100 editions are collected. Alternatively, if you choose, for example, 60 days and "unlimited" editions, the total number of editions is how many can be collected in 60 days. If you set Mint Duration to Open Edition and Edition Size to unlimited, the artwork will be collectible indefinitely.
