We are reaching out to present you with EXPOSURE 2011 , an international competition celebrating the power of the image.

The Mission:
In a world of images, the camera is a tool powerful enough to change the world as we know it. Our goal for Exposure 2011 is to find great photographers who can capture moments and build concepts that speak beyond the bounds of the frame. This is an open call to find talent from around the globe and award everyone who participates in ways large and small.
The Prizes:
To top off this great mission, Artists Wanted is awarding the Grand Prize winner with a $10,000 cash grant along with a highly publicized, art-star gallery event in New York City at Aperture Foundation . Further, we will be projecting larger than life images by the selected photographer onto buildings up to 8 stories high, all over New York City. To wrap up another one of their grand-slam prize packages, Artists Wanted will launch a publicity campaign featuring the winner’s work, through online and print media, reaching hundreds of thousands of people.
In addition, $2,500 will be awarded to the winner of the People’s Choice Award , granted to the photographer whose portfolio garners the highest number of public votes, and $5,000 will be distributed amongst 10 selected Category winners .
