CALL FOR ENTRIES The Art of Documentary Winners to exhibit at the
New York Photo Festival, May 16-20 Deadline for entries: April 6, 2012 This is the third SDN Call for Entries. The theme this year is The Art of Documentary. The winners will be exhibited at the New York Photo Festival, May 16-20, in Dumbo, New York. The theme, The Art of Documentary, is paralleling the theme of the 2012 New York Photo Festival, "The matrix of art photography and social documentary." SocialDocumentary.net, from its beginning in 2008, has been committed to featuring the finest of documentary photography to explore themes of the human condition. In all work accepted to the SDN website, form and content must work together to create a whole that is greater than the sum of its parts. Fundamentally, isn't this what art is? Entries to this competition should focus on photography that is founded in the traditions of fine art to give us insight into the underlying content of the image. In one sense, this is what all work on SDN should be. But now we are asking of you to pay particular attention to this and submit work that you think makes a case that the formal qualities of the image are essential to communicating the underlying content. The winners of this Call for Entries will be exhibited at powerHouse Arena during the New York Photo Festival, May 16-20, 2012. Beginning March 6, 2012, you can submit your entry via the standard online tools available for submitting any exhibit on SDN. The difference is that you will see an option to designate the exhibit as a competition entry. You can also convert any existing exhibit on SDN to a competition entry simply by pressing a button in your exhibit edit page and paying the competition entry fee. For complete details, click here. Entry Fees $25 for one exhibit entry of 6 - 36 images. Click here for complete information and to enter competition. |
