Default Gallery print size

I know that there are many variables here but I'm looking for a general idea...

What is an appropriate size to tell a gallery that your prints will be when submitting entries? I am submitting 3 "river" photographs - one of a bird skimming the water, one of 2 men standing in the front of a boat in Cambodia (from behind them) and one (probably) is a bit of a landscape.

Call for entries gives no guidelines.

Thanks.

depends on what size they are (ratio wise), but I'd say anything from 11x14 to 16x20 (with 12x18 being in between)

I recently was in an exhibit and framed all my photos in 16x20 frames - all the frames were the same (simple black metal) and I had different print sizes because my cropping was not standard, but mostly around 11x17 I think with one much smaller (I matted them myself). It's good to have some uniformity in your grouping so they look like they belong together.
