What the jury looks for
Visual thread
The three frames share a visual language (tone, a recurring element, consistent framing) so they read as one body of work.
Conceptual unity
They explore one idea from different angles. Frame two adds to frame one, it does not just repeat it.
Narrative arc
They move: setup, development, resolution. The order matters; reorder them and something is lost.
The test: remove one frame. If the idea weakens, it is a series. If it still stands, that frame was decoration.
