 PHOTOGRAPHY
The photography panelists select up to five YoungArts finalists. They will also determine recipients of Honorable Mention and Merit awards.
Participants are asked to present work that will best exemplify the extent and quality of their accomplishment as well as conveying feelings and creating emotional interest, or work that clearly expresses a visual point of view.
The portfolio should demonstrate original thinking, an artistic commitment and a willingness to take creative risks. While it is expected that participants will consult with their teachers in the selection of portfolio material, participants are urged to submit work they feel best represents their creative interests.
All forms of photography are accepted in any format including: documentary, color, black and white, non-silver processes, digital, and mixed media. Work need not be done during the current year, but must be original work and can be done in or out of school. Work that suggests visual plagiarism (i.e., a direct copy of another artist's work) will NOT be accepted.
Upload Requirements
Please review the upload requirements carefully.
Evaluation Criteria
