[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 look like. (3)

[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)

One’s identity is multifaceted and complicated. Everyone has multiple layers that come together to create who they are. I stand at the intersection of many identities and by using an extended shutter speed, I allowed for these parts of myself to be represented by the camera. While I am an accumulation of all of the stories I’ve heard and people I’ve met, I will always stand as me, one of a kind.

[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 lesbian is depicted within a silver elevator. One can see her body upright within the elevator, blurring into an image of her leaning onto the wall.

[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?
