SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
Digital Image-Making Process:
There must be computer manipulation or enhancement during the image-making process. "Straight photos" or digitized paintings printed with a digital printer are NOT acceptable.
Digital Output Media: Although most digital prints are on paper, we will accept various digital output surfaces, including canvas, aluminum, and other rigid materials, all with protective coatings. Transparencies like Durotrans when used as part of a finished product such as a lightbox. For Lightbox Restrictions: Email "asci [at] asci [dot] org"
3D digital prints are welcomed, but not more than 40 lbs. total weight.
Protect your artwork: Science museums are mostly "hands-on" environments; unlike art museums with guards in each room. So, your framing and hanging system should compliment the style of the work and offer surface protection for the digital print.
DIGITAL IMAGE SPECIFICATIONS:
Only artworks appropriate for a "family" audience. [No explicit sexuality.]
AMOUNT: 1-5 images maximum
- A "series" counts as individual artworks in terms of Entry Fees [example: if 5 images in the series, entry fee is $50]. Images will be hung together on the wall.
- JPG images will be deleted after Juror process, except those selected for the museum exhibition. Participating in the Digital'08 exhibition automatically gives permission to ASCI for the selected images to be permanently archived in the Digital'08 online exhibition.
IMAGE FORMAT: [we accept JPGs only!]
- save image at 72 pixels/inch
- size*: approx. 480-pixels height x 650-pixels width
- save image as "jpg"
- your "last name" should be the first word in your jpg title
[example: "SmithJH_MolecularDaze3.jpg"]
*JPG SIZE TEST: When you attach your jpg(s) to an email, the title and "final compression" KB size appear in the attachment area of email. NOTE: an image in Photoshop could show the "image size" as just under 1MB, but after jpg compression, it could go down to 200KB. We hope this helps clarify what we want.
