Artists may create work specifically for this Call or may reformat existing work. The work can be created in any medium but, if selected, must be provided as high-resolution digital files suitable for large-format printing.

Artists will be selected by a citizen Jury through a two-stage process involving a written statement of approach and qualifications followed by submission of a detailed proposal by up to six (6) selected Artists. Short-listed Artists completing a Stage Two submission will receive a $500 honorarium.
