Artists are encouraged to interpret the theme “Blow-Up” broadly and in original ways. From a photographic enlargement, to the theme of alienation from the eponymous movie, from explosions to angry “blow-ups” to inflatables, from the silly to the sublime. No limits on size or media, as long as photography is a significant element. Color or black and white.
