Example of vertical format

This is the kind of aspect ratio we’re looking for: tall, portrait-oriented work that reads well on phones and on vertical screens at the show.

  • Portrait / 9:16 (or similar tall ratio)
  • Works as a still image or short looping animation
  • Physical pieces can be documented as vertical photos or video
  • Theme interpretation is open — “Beyond the Veil” is yours to define

Beyond the Veil — explore what lies past the visible, the known, or the understood. Dreams, thresholds, hidden systems, spiritual layers, AI mirrors… interpret freely.
