Any photographic genre, substrate, process or perspective—contemporary, realistic, historical, abstract, experimental, or futuristic—is eligible. Artists must be at least 18 years old. Artwork must be 2D or 3D with photography as its dominant element, original creations by the artist, and exhibition ready to hang or position. Artwork cannot be larger than 44 inches on the longest side including the frame. All artwork must be for sale with no not-for-sale (NFS) or price-on-request (POR) work accepted. Artists may submit up to 20 images. For non-WAA members, the entry fee is $25 for the first image and $15 for each additional image.
