Selection Criteria
Work should be in a series of 3 to 6 photographs created within the last 2 years. All photographs should be part of one body of work. When making your selection is important to consider the following:
* Coherence in the body of work yet uniqueness in each individual photograph (avoid repetition)
* Technical proficiency (consistency in all photographs)
* Creativity including subject matter, technique, style, and artist's statement
* Quantity of photographs. During the exhibition, each student will have a chance to present a brief description of their body of work.
