Park Pictures
The NCMA invites college students to submit original works for our Park Pictures billboard competition. The theme of this year’s competition is “interior worlds,” in reference to the exhibition Candida Höfer in Mexico, on view October 6, 2018–January 6, 2019. Höfer’s photographic work focuses on grand interior spaces, but a diverse and creative interpretation of the idea of interior space is encouraged. This could include real, imagined, physical, mental, or emotional space. All mediums are welcome.
Submission deadline is June 16, 2018.
