We are exploring new categories this year: Catergory One is "Open", which allows minimal enhancement or manipulaiton of any subject matter. Category Two, "Manipulate Me", is where one can present any two-dimensional work that is digitally enhanced or manipulated and may include mixed media, but no found objects and the work should be identifiable as a photograph. Entrants must own all the rights to the work submitted and are responsible for obtaining model releases, when applicable. In Category Three, "Students", (elementary and secondary) work may be entered in either of the above two themes. In all categories, show us your best work.
Entries will be accepted mounted on sturdy foamcore with a pure white mat or printed on canvas and mounted on stretchers. The stretchers should be at least 1- 1/2" deep. The minimum image size for all submitted work is 8" x 12" or 96 square inches and the maximum size is 16 x 24" or 384 square inches. Any shape will be accepted as long as it meets the minimum and maximum. P
