Calling for submissions
Deadline: Thursday January 12, 2017
People and their expressions have always been an interesting subject for photographers. It is really challenging to try to capture the emotions and the mood of a person in just one shot. It is also always interesting to see what the photographers see on the people they have photographed. We would really like to see this relationship as it is developed through your “Portraits”.
Choices Announced: Saturday January 14, 2017

call for submissions

Deadline: January 23, 2017 Exhibition prints deadline: February 24, 2017 Gallery exhibition: March 8 – April 8, 2017

“Three themes interest me most in photography: light, color and moments.
“Light produces color. Light can be soft or intense; color can provoke or excite. It can also inform. At their best, light and color can come together at a moment in time to create an atmosphere, an emotional response and/or a sense of place. And for me, that is the power and joy of the color of light.”     — Arthur Meyerson
For this call for submissions, we seek images that demonstrate the power and joy of the color of light. All capture methods and processes are welcome.

We are honored indeed that Arthur Meyerson will be the juror for The Color of Light. He will select 35 images for exhibition in our Middlebury, Vermont gallery and another 40 for our Online Gallery. All 75 images will be reproduced in the exhibition catalog and promoted on social media. Cash awards will be offered:

 

            Juror’s Award: $300

            Director’s Award:  $200

            Up to three Honorable Mentions will be given.
