SELECTION CRITERIA

Participants are expected to have an understanding of the fundamentals of photography. The faculty will be looking at the direction, strength and background of the photographer and portfolio as a whole rather than judging the merits of each photo in the portfolio. Participants will also be selected based on their level of interest in photography, be it as an academic or future career option.
