CORCORAN GALLERY OF ART PHOTOGRAPHY CURATOR PAUL ROTH TO JURY
THE 2013 PHOTO REVIEW PHOTOGRAPHY COMPETITION
Paul
Roth, Senior Curator and Director, Photography and Media Arts, at the
Corcoran Gallery of Art in Washington, DC, will be the juror for the
2013 Photo Review Photography Competition. The Photo Review, a highly
acclaimed critical journal of photography, is sponsoring its 29th annual
photography competition with a difference. Instead of only installing
an exhibit that would be seen by a limited number of people, The Photo
Review will reproduce accepted entries in its 2013 competition issue and
on its website. Thus, the accepted photographs will be seen by
thousands of people all across the world and entrants will have a
tangible benefit from the competition.
Also, the prize-winning
photographers will be chosen for an exhibition at the photography
gallery of The University of the Arts, Philadelphia. And numerous
Editor’s Selections will be exhibited in several Photo Review web
galleries.
Because their work was seen in The Photo Review, past
winners have been given one-person exhibitions, have had their work
reproduced in other leading photography magazines, and have sold their
work to collectors throughout the country.
Awards include an Olympus Pen E
-PL5 camera;
SilverFast Ai Studio 8, SilverFast HDR Studio, SilverFast SE Plus 8,
from LaserSoft Imaging; a $250 gift certificate from Calumet
Photographic; a 24-inch x 50-foot roll of Museo Silver Rag; a 20x24-inch
silver gelatin fiber print from Digital Silver Imaging; elegant camera
bags from Jill-E; and flash drives from USB Memory Direct.
An
entry fee of $35 for up to three prints or images and $8 for each
additional image entitles all entrants to a copy of the full-color
catalogue. In addition, all entrants will be able to subscribe to The
Photo Review for $36, a 20% discount.
All entries must be received by
June 30, 2013.
