Photography covers images captured by analog or digital cameras, photograms, or experimental photography. Digital Art consists of artwork created digitally, including heavily collaged or manipulated images using tools like Photoshop or Procreate. AI-generated images are not accepted.
Technical Guidelines
All artwork must measure no longer than 24 inches on the longest side, including frames. A new weight restriction has been implemented, with a maximum weight of 40 pounds allowed only for pieces at least 18 inches wide to distribute weight across two hanging hooks. Artworks weighing 8 pounds or more should use two hooks. All pieces must be wired for hanging (sawtooth hangers are not accepted), and paintings must be dry. Three-dimensional work must be suitable for hanging on screens, as pedestals are not available.
