"Creatively Disruptive"
We want artwork that is NOT perfect or traditionally "pretty". This can be interpreted visually, thematically, or through a message.
Break rules, step out of the normal. Don't colour inside the lines. Use unusual materials or techniques.
Touch on current or historical issues. Provoke thought and conversation (either positively or negatively). Shock value accepted, but not mandatory.
Push the envelope and be brave. We want work that makes people stop and stare, that lingers in the mind, and that challenges the viewer's perception.
Style references might be: Dadaism, neo-expressionism, street art, pop-art, surrealism, or your own unique style.
