ELIGIBILITY


The competition is open to all photographers nationwide in the USA, and open to all photographic genre and subject matter.


Competition for “Developed Work” is based upon a thematically developed body of work. We are looking for photographers who have worked with an idea and have developed it into a sold framework resulting in a fully developed body of work.


Artists must submit a brief artist statement, outlining the intentions of the work. Selection will be considered from the cohesive body of work submitted by each artist rather than solely on individual images.
