活動主題
Abstract art is art that does not attempt to represent an accurate depiction of a visual
reality, but instead use shapes, colors, forms and gestural marks to achieve its effect.
Have a look at photography from when it first became a medium for creating images and you will find portraits as well as still life, street scenes, architecture etc. They were all accurate depictions of the subject matter. As photography evolved it ultimately became what it is today; an all encompassing art form, generated by camera and lens, and producing a vast sampling of imagery from reality to less recognizable abstracts.
This call is about those abstracts; images that are not instantly identified as that person, that thing, etc. It doesn't matter if you photograph something abstract or create the abstraction through photographic processes. Macro shots, close ups of graffiti, fanciful post processing manipulations or just photographing something at an angle that disguises it – they all work.
As with all NYC4PA calls all 2D photo mediums are welcome.
抽象藝術是不試圖準確描繪視覺效果的藝術
現實，而是使用形狀、顏色、形式和手勢標記來實現其效果。

看看攝影剛成為圖像創作媒介時的情況，你會發現肖像、靜物、街景、建築等，都是對主題的準確描繪。 隨著攝影的發展，它最終變成了今天的樣子。 一種包羅萬象的藝術形式，由相機和鏡頭生成，並產生從現實到難以識別的抽象的大量圖像樣本。

這次電話會議是關於這些摘要的； 無法立即識別為該人、該物等的圖像。無論您拍攝抽象的東西還是通過攝影過程創建抽象，都沒有關係。 微距拍攝、塗鴉特寫、奇特的後期處理操作或只是以掩蓋事物的角度拍攝 – 它們都有效。

與所有 NYC4PA 通話一樣，歡迎所有 2D 照片媒體。

參賽資格
This Call for Entries is open worldwide to both amateur and professional photographers. NYC4PA invites photographers working in all mediums, styles and schools of thought to participate. Experimental and mixed techniques are welcome. Only 2-D work is eligible.
IMAGES SELECTED FOR A PRIZE IN A PREVIOUS NYC4PA CALL FOR ENTRY WITHIN THE PAST TWO YEARS ARE NOT ELIGIBLE. IF THEY ARE SUBMITTED AND SELECTED BY THE JUROR THEY WILL BE DISQUALIFIED. IMAGES PREVIOUSLY SUBMITTED THAT WERE NOT SELECTED FOR A PRIZE MAY BE RESUBMITTED AT ANY TIME.
本次徵集活動向全球業餘和專業攝影師開放。 NYC4PA 邀請各種媒介、風格和思想流派的攝影師參加。 歡迎實驗和混合技術。 只有二維作品才有資格。

報名方式
Prepare your images as follows
– JPG files are preferred with the longest side a minimum of 1,280 pixels. Smaller files are fine – you will see your uploaded image as soon as you submit it. If it is clear to you it will be fine for the juror.
– Select a unique name for each image so you can identify images when we send notification. Tea Glass1 Tea Glass 2 can be difficult. Two images with the exact same name and then a paragraph description as difficult.
– We prefer shorter names.
– Filenames with special characters may not load properly
– If you are working in Photoshop, and are using the image size screen, the file size indicated at the top is the size before any compression applied in the save process. Please save the file as a JPG and then look at the file size. It should be perfect.
按如下方式準備圖像
– 首選 JPG 文件，最長邊至少為 1,280 像素。較小的文件就可以了 – 提交後您就會看到上傳的圖像。如果你很清楚，那對陪審員來說就沒問題了 。

-為每張圖像選擇一個唯一的名稱，以便您可以在我們發送通知時識別圖像。茶杯 1 茶杯 2 可能會很困難。兩張具有完全相同名稱的圖像，然後進行段落描述同樣困難。

– 我們更喜歡較短的名稱。

– 帶有特殊字符的文件名可能無法正確加載
– 如果您使用 Photoshop 並使用圖像大小屏幕，則頂部指示的文件大小是在保存過程中應用任何壓縮之前的大小。請將文件另存為 JPG，然後查看文件大小。它應該是完美的。
