Evaluation Criteria

Infinite Editions is particularly interesting in working with emerging artists who push the boundaries of photography and traditional image making. Risk-takers, not those interested in merely putting framed pictures on the wall, are more likely to be considered. Interesting, relevant and conceptually thoughtful work is encouraged. Submissions will be judged on conceptual and technical merit as well as clarity of submitted proposals in relation to the submitted imagery. A jury of professionals in the fine art industry will select the scholarship recipient.

Please view our projects page to view examples of the type of photography and installations we have produced in the past.
