WHAT CAN I SUBMIT AND HOW MANY PIECES?

If your submission does not follow the instructions in terms of quality and length, it will not be considered for inclusion in the digital exhibition. You can submit up to 5 items and you are more than welcome to mix and match. For example, if you wanted to submit a combination of audio, writing, and visual art, you are more than welcome to do that!
WHAT HAPPENS AFTER THE DEADLINE OF JULY 1 AND HOW WILL THE SELECTIONS BE MADE?
After artists submit their work, they will be notified by Friday, August 29 about the status of your submission.
Decisions about the work will be made by a small committee of artists and creatives based on two categories: quality of the work submitted and your creative approach in bringing together the themes of food, memory, and storytelling.
HOW IS "MEMORY" BEING DEFINED?
Memory can be anything from something as recent as last week, last month, the previous year OR you may decide to connect
with something from an earlier time in your life. Memory is however you want to engage with it as long as you bring it together with the other themes of food and storytelling.
