Applicants must also be in grades 10-12 or 15-18 years of age on December 1 of the year they are applying. Applicants must submit a portfolio that must include a total of ten images, either: Two unified photo series with five images in each series. The series of photographs should be unified by concept, theme, aesthetics and/or subject matter. Or one unified photo series with ten images.
