Participants have a chance to win five $250 cash prizes.Jurors: The BureauThe Bureau is a multidisciplinary studio and creative media platform. Art, as an expression of love, provides one of the few avenues in which the imagination can be completely unbound. As such, our work utilizes photography and film, design and fashion, research and dialogue, exhibitions and creative experiences to weave the thread of ou r collective histories. Our distinctive approach to storytelling allows for unique cross-category solutions that merge robust artistic production with critical dialogue. The Bureau was founded in Minneapolis in the wake of local and international uprisings sparked by the killing of George Floyd. The team coalesced around the desire to produce work that reflects the political, cultural, and social needs of those most marginalized in the contemporary landscape.
