From the San Diego Museum of Art website:
“No matter what subjects artists choose, the one subject
that all share is that of themselves, the self portrait. Selfportraits
are not just a reflection of what they look like
but also how the artist interprets themselves and the
world around them. It is perhaps the most personal story
that the artist can tell and make the self-portrait one of
art’s most important subjects.”
All work must contain an image, representation or interpretation
of the artist. Work may be representational or
non-representational. Entry is open to all artists. DAA
