Exhibition Summary: The Ohio Department of Administrative Services (DAS), in partnership with the Ohio Arts Council (OAC), is contacting Ohio color photographers for an opportunity to share their photography that highlights Ohio's four seasons. Artists are invited to submit up to four (4) digital images of photography that shows Ohio at its most beautiful - winter, spring, summer, or fall. If one or more of your photographs are selected the images will be digitally transferred to vinyl and displayed in the entrance tunnel of the Rhodes State Office Tower, 30 East Broad Street, Columbus, Ohio which is the work site of more than 3,000 State of Ohio employees. Selected artists will be compensated $50 for each selected image (up to 4 total). 

Eligibility Requirements: Entrants must be living Ohio residents, 18 years and older. OAC and DAS employees are not eligible to apply.

Exhibition Information: The selected photographs will be digitally transferred to vinyl to be installed in the entrance tunnel of the Rhodes State Office Tower. Only work appropriate for display in a public building will be considered. The image size will be adjusted to meet installation needs - typically a 24" x 36" or 36" x 36" size vinyl image. With each image the artist's name, title of work, email, and/or artist website will be displayed using a QR code.
