    2. Translated and transposed to a perforated steel image created through circular perforations in the metal panels and sheeting.
      1. Similar examples can be found by searching perforated metal sheet artwork images in a web browser.
      2. Picture based perforations is based on a combination of image detail and the size of the final screen canvas.
      3. Entrants acknowledge that the image will be altered and translated to the perforated steel image.
      4. The level of detail in the image and size of the final screen canvas dictates the size and volume of holes used to create it. A smaller screen canvas, generally viewed from close range will typically use smaller holes and more of them to create an image. As the screen canvas area becomes larger, both horizontally and longitudinally (must become larger in both directions), so do the holes and the hole centres. Please keep this in mind as our canvas areas are considered large canvasses.
      5. DEM cannot guarantee that we can reproduce photo realistic images.  Any artwork will be an interpretation of the original image.
      6. DEM strongly recommends that the image is black and white as colour does not translate and therefore high contrast photos are desirable.
      7. Only a portion of the image may be used to suit the canvas size.
      8. DEM Project Branding and associated logos may be placed on the community battery façades.
  14. Incomplete, indecipherable or illegible images will be deemed invalid.
