n
nCategory 3: Multi-dimensional
nAny work that contains as it’s primary element an original photograph or photographs in any format or medium, but does not fit into either of the other two categories. The photograph(s) can be time-varying or static and may be embedded in an external construct of the artist’s creation. The work must be ready for display; free-standing, placed on a pedestal, or wired for hanging. Works should not weigh more than 30 lbs. or exceed 48 inches in any dimension. If needed, standard electrical AC power (60Hz, 120V) is available.

n
nPlease note: No entries containing video or other forms of motion capture will be accepted. However, you may submit a video of your entry to give the juror a better understanding of the dimensionality of your work. Such a video will count as a single entry. If you are submitting a video of your entry, do not submit a digital image of your entry. You are only allowed to submit one video or one digital image per entry.
