• May also be included:

  • a diversity of subject matter (observational, abstract, and nonobjective works)
  • work that demonstrates level of craftsmanship and formal considerations

• If including photographs of 3D artwork:
  • Pieces should be photographed clearly with even natural lighting and a neutral background.
  • Pieces should be cropped to the work itself and not include frames, borders, or distracting backgrounds.

  • Introduce yourself and tell us what inspires your work.
