The competition is divided into four categories:

Participants can submit one entry per category. Each entry can be presented as one image, or as a series of five images united by the same theme and graphic technique.

The jury will award 100,000 rubles (approximately $1500 USD) in prize money. The jury may choose to award this entire amount as a Grand Prize to the artist whose work is deemed the best in any particular category, or it may choose to distribute the prize money amongst several artists across various categories.

The deadline for entries is Tuesday, December 20th, 2016. To submit, artists must create an account and register on the competition website: http://competitions.archplatforma.ru

Registration is simple. To create an account, open the menu (click on the red square on the main page under the Archplaltforma.ru logo). Click “Log In,” and enter a login name and your contact email. The specified email address will receive two emails: one for account activation, and one with your data for registration.

After completing the registration process, all options will be made available. Participants must complete the required information and then upload their images in the appropriate categories. (Up to five images, united by a single idea or subject, may be submitted per category). Images must be Jpegs, at least 2000 pixels in width. An explanatory note (up to 1000 characters) must accompany each submission.
