Judges from Artprof.org will review the works between October 15 and October 21. They will be looking for strong cohesion in both technical execution and presence of a core concept, and how they work together to form a visually commanding piece. They will also consider the originality of the idea, innovative engagement of the materials used, and bold artistic vision.
