About the Juror: David Bram is the editor, founder, and curator of Fraction Magazine, an online venue dedicated to fine art, contemporary photography.

Theme: Lust

Lust is a passionate or overwhelming desire. People lust for power, money, objects. You can have a lust for life or an intense and eager enthusiasm. And of course, there is sexual lust.

As an artist, what do you lust for? What moves you to create? What does lust look like?

A powerful image goes beyond the aesthetics of the subject matter and creates an emotional response in the viewer. A strong and consistent emotional narrative in a body of work binds the imagery together in a deeper way than content alone.

This theme gives you the opportunity to elicit a powerful feeling in the viewer.

Show me lust. Make me feel a passionate and overwhelming desire for something, anything. Make me care about what you have to say and how you say it.

*We are looking for a wide interpretation of the theme and a wide range of imagery.
