PART SIX: WORK SAMPLES
The explanation text under each category is important. Our jurors are off-site and so, if possible, we ask you to send us links to remote files (unless you're a writer) rather than attaching them to an email. If you are worried about copyright infringement, protect your images with a password on flickr or your chosen site, but make sure to share the password with us.
WORK SAMPLE REQUIREMENTS
In general, continuity is easiest for the jury to handle. We do, however, welcome you to submit samples in multiple media. Please use the TEN TOTAL measurement to keep thing easier on the jury:
-10 recent images
-10 cumulative minutes of video
-10 pages of writing
-10 minutes of audio files
-or, some combination thereof (i.e. 7 images and 3 pages of writing, or 5 minutes of video and 5 of audio, etc)
We reserve the right to edit down your portfolio to reduce the burden on our jury.
Images
Please provide a link (or multiple links) to ten images of recent work. These can be on your website or using a free image hosting site (such as
www.flickr.com
or
picasa.google.com
). Please paste the link(s) below, along with the relevant information: title, date, dimensions, media, and any vital explanations, unless this information is already included with the image you've linked. If you have both still images and video to submit, please do not exceed 5 images and 5 minutes of video.
