Call: SNAG’S ANNUAL PRESENTATION OF STUDENT WORK: Beyond Borders

Educators, below is the info about submitting images for the annual student presentation. Deadline is March 1. Changes have been made since previous presentations, so please read. And please share with others!

SNAG’S ANNUAL PRESENTATION OF STUDENT WORK

Beyond Borders: A digital presentation that represents the talent, creativity, and hard work of SNAG students everywhere. Powerful and inspirational images from students pursuing certificates, associates, bachelors and master’s degrees.

Faculty: Submit no more than 5 images from your current students’ work that best showcase your school to the entire conference and on SNAG’s website.
Deadline: all images must be received by Midnight, Eastern Standard Time, March 1, 2013.

Faculty Submissions
All submissions for this presentation must come from faculty, not from the individual students. This presentation is not juried. The five images submitted will be included in the presentation; however, depending on the number of schools participating, SNAG may need to edit for time. Every effort will be made to give equal representation to each participating institution.

Choose the best student work and submit only pieces that are well photographed. These images will represent your program to the entire conference and on SNAG’s website. Put your best foot forward and select carefully.

If your program has multiple faculty, please coordinate your selections with each other. We will accept only one set of images from each school. If multiple submissions are made from one school, we will do our best to contact you and correct the error. The submission process for this presentation no longer overlaps with the juried student exhibition.

Eligibility
All students under the direction of faculty in any degree, diploma or certificate-granting institution. Select work from current students only. Work must have been created between January 2012 and February 2013. Artworks included in previous SNAG student exhibitions and/or created before 2012 are not eligible.
SNAG membership is not required for participation, though membership is always encouraged!
