Look at Me: Any self-portrait, image, or representation of oneself.

We are encouraging students from all Northwest Regional high schools to submit works about how we represent our identity. For example, some students may want to discuss identity through social, cultural, economic, and gendered perspectives; as each of these elements plays a part in how we identify within constructs of family, community, and greater society.

The aim of this exhibition is to feature the best self-portraits that depict the students’ individual identity, and honest self-reflections are specifically desired.

Eligibility

The Look at Me High School Art Exhibition is free to enter and open to juniors and seniors across the Northwest Region. Students are welcome to submit one self-portrait each. These self-portraits must be original, and can be any media.

Size Requirements

All 2-dimensional images must be a maximum of 8"x10" mounted on an 11"x14" black mounting board. We recommend something similar to Dick Blick's Pure Black Presentation Boards, item number 13700-2005. All 3-dimensional work must fit into either a FedEx or USPS flat rate box (see shipping below).

Deadline

All entries must be received by October 23, 2020
