Call for Entries: Synthesis | Mixed Media Photography

An opportunity to submit work to a mixed media photography show. The cost to submit work is considerably low and can all be done online.

Pinhole Exhibition Opportunity

Brian Marki Fine Art has a call out for a pinhole exhibition.  It doesn't look like there is a cost to submit work, so there are no excuses not to enter if you're making work with the pinhole camera.  Deadline is October 22nd for submissions, which can be done electronically.

Call for Entries for Campus Photo Contest

Students-

I've been asked to spread the word that the Exit Gallery, the Office of International Programs, and the Leadership Institute are holding a photo contest, and it looks like it will be of particular interest to those of you who have travelled internationally, or are in places of an international persuasion right now. Here is the call for entries that was forwarded to me:

International Photography Call for Entries – Convocation 2010

In conjunction with the 2010 Freshman Convocation, The Exit Gallery, MSU Leadership Institute and Office of International Programs are proud to present an international photography contest juried by convocation speaker Kevin Connolly.

Fifteen to twenty photos will be selected for a two week exhibition in the Exit Gallery from September 7th – 17th. The final photos selected must be printed 8”x10” or 8”x12” with a 2” white window mat.

Convocation speaker and international photographer Kevin Connolly will be announcing the winners at the exhibit reception on Friday September 10th in the gallery. There will be cash prizes for three winners: First – $125, Second – $75, Third – $25

Picture Black Friday

Shawn Records, from Photolucida, sent me an email this morning to pass on to students. He said "make your students do this". I won't force anything on you here, but I can think of several good reasons to submit to this. 1) gives you experience of being on assignment, plus a chance to write a caption if you are so inclined. 2) solid group of jurors looking at your work. 3) it is free to submit. One aspect to consider is how you can Picture Black Friday in a smaller populated area. I would imagine that Black Friday looks much different in Bellevue Idaho (calling on you Jackson) than it does in New Jersey. The jurors might find it refreshing to see work that isn't just about people fighting for merchandise in Walmart.
