This one is definitely affordable to enter. In case a spectacular photo opportunity should come my way I just might go ahead! I wish the website would show last year´s winning photos, though.
Thanks for posting this,

Heidi

Good news! I'll put it on the calendar then, Heidi :-)

[Malinda Neisess]

does anyone know if there is any kind of theme or is it a spring theme? or any more information?
the winners for last year were separate categories of black and white and then color
and i wouldn't have even know that if not for looking for last year's winners
but i couldn't find any further information

[Heidi]

Malinda, I was wondering about that too. But if you look at the cover of last year´s book, there is an Asian girl dancing as far as I remember - nothing to indicate Spring to me. I think it´s an open theme. But maybe we could e-mail them and find out.

INTERNATIONAL CALL FOR ENTRIES
Various prizes & awards and exhibition at Leo Kesting Gallery, New York
Deadline: June 17th, 2008

Title: Artists Wanted: EXPOSURE photography competition


“This is the story of the power of images. In this search we are looking for pictures worth more than a thousand words. We are looking for undiscovered talent, those who seek exquisitely in the language of lenses and aperture - those who create without bounds. Join us in building a nation wide search for photographic excellence. This is the story of the power of EXPOSURE.”

Artists Wanted is a collaborative project between several New York City artists and creative organizations working to build new lasting opportunities for emerging talent. They‘ve experienced first hand the difficulties of breaking into the professional art world and it is their mission to make this process more welcoming, dynamic and open-ended.

The Grand Prize: The Top Photographer will have their work presented in a massive scale photo show on buildings in the top New York City Art Districts: Chelsea, Dumbo and Williamsburg. An Opening Event will be hosted at the Leo Kesting Gallery in Manhattan on August 9th. They will receive: $2,008 cash, a full-press promotional campaign and a feature in our upcoming publication, The Annual.

Student Award: The Top Student Photographer will receive a $1,000 scholarship and a feature in The Annual.

Educator‘s Grant: The Educator of the Top Student Photographer will receive a $500 discretionary grant and a feature in “The Annual” for Teaching Excellence.

People‘s Choice Award: The public will vote on all the portfolios on our site and select their Top Artist. The Peoples Choice Photographer will receive a $500 grant and a feature in The Annual

Q: Who owns the work/copyrights after it is submitted? You do, of course. We really are just a few artists from Brooklyn and Manhattan trying to make real opportunities for others like us from around the world. We are not business people and have no intention of owning your work. We would not even know what to do with it if we took the copyrights somehow. Long story short, everything you submit is yours.

Q: Can I submit work if I live outside of New York?
A: Yes. Artists Wanted accepts submissions from all over the world. In fact, we’ll install your work at the Leo Kesting Gallery in the Meat Packing District in New York City even if you can’t make it to the opening.
