No, I wasn't aware of this rule... I can't imagine a whole new body of photos every two years. It would be like fratricide, killing off the loved ones. In fact, R.C., I think this rule pops up now and then at many shows and in general it is ignored by artists. It is kind of a gallery rule, or one for competitions. Right? This event is run by an art center so may have that kind of thought process.
I'll bet they have never been asked about it and probably would be open to a discussion. I know they want this event to succeed.
Connie are you aware of this rule? How would Norm have faired under such a condition?
"All work must be original art, conceived and executed solely by the artist within the last two years, without instructional assistance."
