Whether you’re a seasoned festival artist or new to the industry, join us for two sessions that tackle these questions and more!

Jury Workshop – Public Portfolio Critique
A panel will discuss image submissions in terms of composition, technical presentation, artistic presentation, and image quality. This session presents a great opportunity to see how images appear in the projected jury format and to also receive valuable feedback on improving jury images.
