This category is an "anything goes" division reserved for images that DO NOT depict subject matter as a person would NORMALLY see it. Prints eligible for submission into this category include, but are not limited to: abstracts, solarizations, posterizations, montages, collages, lenticular 3 dimensional images, photograms, photolithographs, image or emulsion transfers, image manipulations (darkroom/computer), hand or computer colored, the product of various antiquated processes, etc. The maker may employ ANY METHOD to produce the print providing the initial image was captured or recorded using light sensitive material (paper/film/emulsion) or equipment employing a light sensitive device or detector (digital camera/digital camera back/scanner). Due to the almost endless variety and mix of processes that could be utilized to produce images for this category, judges are advised to evaluate prints in this division on their ARTISTIC MERITS, not on how the end result was achieved.
