All types! Different exhibitions and projects might call for any media, or specific media for example ‘MP4, or a VHS tape’. This will be stated on their individual project page.

‘All media accepted ’ means exactly that. A project stating ‘all media’ will consider all approaches using any material you can think of, including these and many more; oil paint, woodblock print, lino print, collage, audio files, 3D printer files, paper sculpture, slip cast ceramics, found objects, journalling, performance, photography, a website, finger painting, mechanical sculpture… absolutely anything you can think of.

The important thing is for your work to relate to the project or exhibition’s topic, and the brief set by the Curator/s.
