Opportunity

The Creative Divergents Summer 2011 Showcase is open and accepting submissions.  As a reminder, all subjects, styles, and media are welcome.  Challenge, explore, push boundaries!  One submission will be selected to receive a $1,000 (USD) award, determined by creative vision, innovation, potential to engage an audience, presentation (i.e. quality of the images submitted), and overall impression.

Information

Creative Divergents is a few things: an online showcase, a competition, an experiment, a creative networking site…  Some of the things it has been founded on include an appreciation for people willing to push boundaries in creative ways, the desire to bring more attention to works that may not fit neatly into easily defined categories, a belief in the significance of dialogue, and an effort to make participation accessible by not asking you to pay an arm and a leg for the chance to possibly maybe have your work seen.

More information and submission guidelines can be found online at creativedivergents.com

Requirements

$5 fee per submission. Each submission includes up to 3 images.

Deadline: June 15, 2011 (11:59pm EST).
