Stairs Exhibit Competition

Submit your best photography showcasing Stairs. Top images from this juried competition will be exhibited at venues around Northwest Arkansas.

Designed to bridge a vertical distance, stairs are often architecturally unique, visually complex, and the subject of fine art. What unique images can you take that feature these most utilitarian and common structures? Ensure the stairs are the subject of your image.

Your images will be evaluated by a panel of three judges for impact, subject, composition, and technical mastery.

DEADLINE: Jan 11, 2022
