Who this template is for
Art Commission Form is built for studios, freelancers and creative agencies who need to brief a project properly before work starts.
- Studios, freelancers and creative agencies working in creative, design & media.
- Teams who need to brief a project properly before work starts without writing code or paying for a custom build.
- Anyone replacing scope creep caused by an incomplete brief with one structured record per enquiry.
- Respondents are clients and collaborators — the form asks them 14 questions across 2 screens.
- Mobile-heavy audiences, thanks to the one-question-per-screen card layout.
Why this form is useful
It removes the cost of scope creep caused by an incomplete brief and turns each submission into a record your team can act on immediately.
- 7 questions are required, so submissions arrive complete instead of needing a follow-up email.
- It collects a verified email address so replies and confirmations land.
- It accepts a document or photo upload as evidence.
- It pins the request to a specific date.
- It captures a numeric value you can filter and sort on.
- Conditional logic hides 4 questions until they are relevant — shorter forms convert better than long ones.
- Splitting the form across 2 pages keeps each screen short and shows respondents how much is left.
- Every response is stored, searchable and exportable, so nothing depends on one person's inbox.

- Features conditional validation: if “Style” is Other, “Describe the style” becomes mandatory before the form can be sent.
- Features advanced show logic: if “Usage” is Commercial, the form dynamically exposes “Licensing needs”. Otherwise that question never appears.
- Features conditional validation: if “Usage” is Commercial, “Licensing needs” becomes mandatory before the form can be sent.
- All 4 rules are editable in the Logic tab, and the built-in checker warns about rules that contradict each other.

Questions about this shared form
Does it take payment?
Not by default. Most artists quote first and invoice a deposit after scope is agreed, but you can add a payment field in the builder.
Why ask about commercial use separately?
Commercial usage changes both the licence and the price. The form opens a required licensing question so it is never assumed.
Can clients upload multiple references?
Yes, the reference field accepts several files, which is usually how a style and a subject get communicated properly.
Is it suitable for closed commission periods?
Yes. Unpublish the form between rounds and the link shows a closed message rather than collecting enquiries you cannot take.
Is the Art Commission Form template free to use?
Yes. You can preview and test Art Commission Form on this page without an account, and take a copy into your own HelloForms workspace on the free plan. There is nothing to install and no card required to publish it.
