[Eligibility] The Curve Photo Contest proudly centers and uplifts people who identify as lesbian, bisexual, transgender, and queer women and nonbinary people. Please share how you self-identify, using language that feels most accurate to you. Feel free to include all intersections of your identity. (Examples: lesbian, trans person of color, Latinx queer woman, radical faery, butch, etc.)

This is what a new generation of butches looks like. (2)

[Artist Statement] Tell us more about your photo by sharing a brief artist statement OR answering this prompt: "This is what being ______ means to me..." (Max. 100 words)

Being butch is an all-encompassing identity. It is more than how you present yourself to others, it is how you treat others and yourself. Being butch requires understanding the history of queerness and giving credit to those who came before you. At the same time, it is just as important to look to the future and place yourself in the community of queerness in ways that will allow for the next generations to thrive.

[Visual Description] Describe your photo so we can provide alt-text. Example: "Two women holding hands and smiling as they walk in a pride parade, surrounded by rainbow flags."

A young adult stands in front of a white wall. They are wearing a white tank top and a black leather jacket, half-on, half-off. They are looking downwards.

[Agreement] Do you consent to The Curve Foundation storing, sharing, and using this image and its description as we deem appropriate, including disseminating on our social media, website, and Curve Archive and Curve Quarterly?
