CALL for ENTRIES: National Photography Award

Posted on February 22, 2012 by R.L. Gibson

FAT IS FLAVOR

Sadly, most of the indulgent foods I love are not necessarily the most healthy. During cold weather, I always dream of sitting under a palm tree and drinking a frozen coconut concoction, umbrella-optional, while the palm fronds shade me from the sun. Coconut milk has a fat content of approximately 17%. Uh huh. Well, maybe this next show will give you a chance to enjoy the palm tree part, and coconut could be a great way to celebrate…

REMINDER: Spontaneous

Posted on February 21, 2012February 21, 2012 by R.L. Gibson

a BERRY in a BASKET
worth TWO in a BUSH?

I still dislike the lack of spontaneity involved in home-cooking. What I am I going to do with all the extra food I grow this year? My neighbors would say “can it.” Mmmhmm. Need I remind you of how little time I have as it is? Maybe I will spontaneously leave baskets of home-grown goodies on strangers’ doorsteps. This next show expects spontaneity from YOU. TIME IS RUNNING OUT…

Check out this Call for Entries from the Darkroom Gallery (Essex Junction, VT) for Spontaneous. The entry fee at Darkroom is always low ($20), and I love that they will provide free matting and framing if you work in their standard sizes. Take a look…

*Editor’s Note: If you enter, please make sure to let them know that you found the Call on ArtAndArtDeadlines.com. We’ve got a great history with them…including Best of Show!

CALL for ENTRIES:
Spontaneous

Spontaneity is the hallmark for great documentary and street photography where the moments of life, often ironic, poignant, emotionally charged, tragic or absurd are frozen.

Photography provides the means to capture a moment but which moment makes all the difference. Well known masters include Henri Cartier-Bresson and W. Eugene Smith with recent discoveries such as Vivian Maier and Frank Oscar Larson adding to a long list of great photographers.

Many of the scenes captured by practitioners of this art, with the possible exception of war and extreme sports documentary, pass before us every day, but we do not see.

This exhibit is dedicated to those who strive to see, realize and then manifest vision and moment into an image so that we can all see what is right in front of us or inaccessible in some other way. Showing us the remarkable moments that make up the, often unconscious, Human Experience.

ELIGIBILITY:
Entrants must be at least 18 years old. If you are younger, you must have a parent or legal guardian make the submission for you.

MEDIA:
Photography.

DEADLINE: Feb 22, 2012

NOTIFICATION: Feb. 28, 2012

In the same year he started to take photographs in Albania, Bulgaria, Romania and the former Yugoslavia, investigating the territorial, ethnic and religious tensions of the region, as well as the endurance of traditional social and religious rites. This work earned him the Mother Jones Award in 1992.

He was given the Abdi Ipektsi Award for peace and friendship between Greece and Turkey in 2001.

Posted on February 19, 2012 by R.L. Gibson

SNAP or
HALF-RUNNER?

I can’t decide what to grow in my new garden. As I have mentioned, ad nauseum, I am moving to a bigger place. AND, I am getting back the one thing I’ve really missed since I’ve lived on top of a mountain…a yard. Do I grow lettuce or spinach or tomatoes or cucumbers or green beens or blackberries or pumpkins or herbs? I have a finite amount of time. Can anyone tell me what to grow that won’t need my assistance? I suspect I’ll be waiting for that email for quite some time. This next call wants your perspective on gardens. Take a look…

I am not a coffee drinker, but most of you know that. Truth is…I really dislike coffee. I rarely mention this small fact because it apparently disqualifies me as a foodie, or so I’ve been told.

PARTICIPANTS NEEDED: Flat You takes Europe

CHECKPOINT
Chocolate

Shockingly, there are many things I love more than food. My family, art, and friendships that survive through time and distance. One of those friendships for me is with one Bernadette Vielbig, sculptor. She’s a talented artist and a nut of the first order. I’ve never known her to not challenge an art boundary. She’s my art/girl crush. I might just love her more than chocolate, maybe. Here’s your chance to love her too...from a distance, stalkers.

Check out this Call for Participants in Armchair Travel with Bernadette by Bernadette Vielbig. Participating will cost you at least $1, but I’ll make it worth your while. Investigate…

*Editor’s Note: If you have read the personal portion of this post, PARTICIPANTS NEEDED: Flat You takes Europe, anywhere other than by email subscription or on ArtAndArtDeadlines.com, it has been published without permission and is considered theft.

PARTICIPANTS NEEDED: Armchair Travel with Bernadette

“In spring of 2012 I will be traveling to Amsterdam, Berlin & Prague for work related research. The research I am doing for my day job is already funded – travel, accommodations, transfers – I have decided to take advantage of my research time there to expand it to my gallery practice. You may pledge to ‘Armchair Travel with Bernadette’ to anywhere in these three cities. I will need you to send me a digital file minimum 100dpi – 8 x 10 jpg headshot that I will print & bring with me and photograph in your destination of choice. After I return I will edit and print copies of our adventure together to be displayed in November at the Saranac Art Projects gallery, an artist run coop located in Spokane, WA.

The exhibit will consist of the patron lists, thank you letters, travel shots of us together and an ‘Armchair Installation’ where gallery visitors can relax and read about your pledges, travel books, peruse my travel sketchbooks, and photograph themselves with a ‘flat me’ to be printed & posted daily during the run of the exhibition. Most of the travel photos will be renegade actions. Any funds received through Kickstarter will go towards, paper, inks, framing, installation expenses, press mailers, fees, & transportation to and from the gallery site of the work.” –Bernadette Vielbig

ELIGIBILITY: Open to all

MEDIA: Photography, Installation and Art Terrorism of sorts.

DEADLINE: Ongoing through March 25, 2012 @ 3am ET.

ENTRY FEE: At least $1

AWARDS: The real reward is participating in your art community. But, I will sweeten the pot a little. If it weren’t for Bernadette contagious enthusiasm, my love for being a part of an art community (LIKE THIS ONE) would have withered long ago. So, AAAD wouldn’t exist without her….

Anyone who pledges $2 gets a free entry into the $2 Art Contest. Any artist who pledges $25+ USD will get a 135px × 100px ad (designed by me) and linked to their website for 6 months.

CALL for ENTRIES: Self-Portraiture

Posted on February 10, 2012 by R.L. Gibson

PURPLE and
CURVY

Eggplants are sexy. Okay, each to their own, but how do you resist the deep aubergine color, the shiny firm skin and the mild but complex flavor. If I were a vegetable, an eggplant wouldn’t be a bad thing to be. This next show is looking for self-portraiture, but I’m not sure they are looking for my life as an eggplant. Why don’t you give it a shot? No pun intended.

Check out this Call for Entries from the Kiernan Gallery (Lexington, VA) for Both sides of the Lens: Self-Portraiture. I love portraiture, and this subject will do anything you ask. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES:
Both sides of the Lens:
Self-Portraiture

A photographer’s most reliable subject is his or her self. By turning the camera on oneself the photographer is brought out from behind their lens, presenting themselves to the world as both artist and subject.

Self-portraiture is often used to explore and manipulate identity. The photographer invites judgement and critique on not only their artistic message, but also their appearance and demeanor. For this exhibition, The Kiernan Gallery seeks self-portraits that provide insight into the artist; their stories, struggles and triumphs.

ELIGIBILITY:
Open to all artists

MEDIA:
All forms of photography

DEADLINE:
March 2, 2012

NOTIFICATION: Artists will be notified of accepted work via email approximately eight days after the submission deadline.

ENTRY FEE: $25 for the first 5 images and $5 each add’l image (up to 10 images).

JUROR: Russell Joslin has worked primarily in photography beginning in the early 90’s, and has exhibited his work in solo and group shows since then.

In addition to being a photographer, Joslin is the Editor and Publisher of SHOTS Magazine, an independent, reader-supported quarterly journal of fine art photography that reaches an international audience. He lives and works in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

AWARDS: The juror will select up to 30 images for display in the main gallery, as well as up to an additional 40 for display in the online gallery. All accepted photographs are eligible for inclusion in a full color exhibition catalogue available for purchase from Blurb Books. A Juror’s Choice and Director’s Choice award will also be announced.

SALES: Artists exhibiting at the gallery may offer their work for sale. The Kiernan Gallery retains 30% of the sale price as commission.

CALL for ENTRIES: iPhoneography

Posted on February 9, 2012February 9, 2012 by R.L. Gibson

LUNCH,
Wonder-Full,
LUNCH!

My favorite lunch box had Wonder Woman on it. It didn’t matter what it had in it; even olive loaf tasted better when it came enclosed in a box with Linda Carter’s face on it. But between you and me, a sandwich made with Goober Grape always tasted better than olive loaf…then again, anything tastes better than olive loaf, ha. I hope the opening of this next Call serves hors d’oeuvres in lunch boxes. Save a Wonder Woman petit four for me…

Check out this Call for Entries from The Lunch Box Gallery (Miami, FL) for iPhoneography: Updated Visual Dialogs. The entry fee is low, and there’s no shipping of work either. And it is almost an all hung exhibit. Anybody need a Miami-based show on their artistic resume? So incredibly cool…

CALL for ENTRIES:
iPhoneography:
Updated Visual Dialogs

As an enabler for creative communication, iPhoneography has become a new medium for massive dialog, where images taken and edited with the iPhone are openly shared, sometimes instantly and some other times preceded by a complex creative process; regardless, is undeniable that all of these images project a part of the user’s self.

The exhibition “iPhoneography: Updated Visual Dialogs” as a whole will be an integral, heterogeneous and diverse expression of that avalanche of pixels that are being registered and shared in modern times; yet, in this immensity, every picture in the show becomes a window, a glimpse of the iPhoneographer’s vision, sensitivity and everyday life.

“iPhoneography: Updated Visual Dialogs” is inspired by Chase Jarvis famous quote…

“The Best Camera is the One That’s With You” ™.
Prove it!

ELIGIBILITY: All iPhoneographers, national and international over 18 years of age.

MEDIA:
Pictures must be taken and
edited on the iPhone
(not on any other device).

DEADLINE:
March 4, 2012

NOTIFICATION: All Hung (sort of). All iPhoneographers will be automatically accepted to be featured in the gallery, joining this collective representation of the massive use of the medium; yet, at least 1 out of 3 photographs by every iPhoneographer will be printed and shown.

ENTRY FEE: $15.00 is required for submitting up to 3 JPGs. You can submit more than once. Payment should be solely made via PayPal.

SALES: All works in the show must be for sale. Sale price for each image is determined by the artist. The gallery will take a 30% commission on all sales in the course of the exhibit.

CALL for ENTRIES: Consequences

Posted on February 7, 2012 by R.L. Gibson

MER-lower,
please

Merlot sings to me. But the next morning, I will harm anyone attempting to sing to me. I am allergic to the tannins after years of enjoying the taste of an earthy glass at art openings. Now, just one glass makes me feel like I’ve been hit by a bus. I still have a glass occasionally and deal with the consequences. This next Call wants to see how you deal with the consequences. Fabulous…

FAIR to FIG
…and FOWL

If you can say nothing else for my taste in food, it is fair and open to all. I will try almost any culinary invention once. And most of them (even the bad ones) I will give a second and/or third chance. But if you haven’t won me over after three attempts, I’m likely done. I give art, artists and their little-known media the same respect. This next call offers consideration for “any” media. I wonder if they REALLY mean that. Let me know…

CALL for ENTRIES: Vibrant!

Posted on February 1, 2012 by R.L. Gibson

ARE YOU
blue?

I do not understand the fascination with glowing beverages. I’m not interested in drinking soda that looks like antifreeze or cocktails that look like glow sticks. Glowing food makes me think of barium x-rays. Do you know the most popular way to get the barium inside? MmmHmm… Think about that the next time the vibrant glow of a cocktail lures you to imbibe. This next call encourages a more positive view of the vibrant, but then again, they aren’t asking you to eat it either. Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries from the Coastal Arts League (Half Moon Bay, CA) for Through a Lens: Vibrant!, this year’s theme for the Annual Michael H. Kellicutt International Photo Show. Check it out…

*Editor’s Note: If you have read the personal portion of this post, CALL for ENTRIES: Vibrant!, anywhere other than by email subscription or on ArtAndArtDeadlines.com, it has been published without permission and is considered theft.

CALL for ENTRIES:
Through a Lens– Vibrant

Vibrant and vibrate have the same latin root word: “vibrare” meaning to move rapidly and rhythmically to and fro. While vibrate means virtually the same thing in English, vibrant has additional connotations as it applies to brightness of light or color, or as in how alive or energetic is the given subject – literally vibrating with life. “

Through a Lens: Vibrant! gives the photographer several options. Vibrant could apply to a light or hue in the composition, or it could apply to the subject, as to a person or in a street. It could even be stretched to apply to the process – check out the vibrance adjustment layer in photoshop. Which definition of “Vibrant!” will you choose?

ELIGIBILITY: Open to all artists

MEDIA: Photography

DEADLINE: February 29, 2012

NOTIFICATION: March 30, 2012

ENTRY FEES: $20 for first entry, $5 per add’l entry up to a total of ten.

JURORS: Scott Atkinson is a large-format landscape photographer and photo editor based in Half Moon Bay, California. Sometime early in his photo career he decided to “stay home” and shoot only in California’s native habitats. He still shoots mainly with a traditional view camera and film, in both 4×5 and 8×10 formats. Audubon, The California Academy of Sciences, The Nature Conservancy, Sierra Club, Sunset, Westcliffe, and The Wilderness Society have published his work.

Photographer Michael Collopy is one of the preeminent portrait photographers of our time and has gained worldwide recognition for his commissioned portraits of hundreds of public figures. His portfolio includes portraits of world leaders such as Pope John Paul II, Mikhail Gorbachev and Margaret Thatcher and entertainers like Ella Fitzgerald, Mick Jagger, B. B. King and Luciano Pavarotti. Collopy’s photos have been published worldwide in numerous books, magazines and newspapers.

Kate Jordahl exhibits her enthusiasm and passion for the art of photography in her work. In her travels and photography, she searches for the places where the spirit of the earth and the human spirit come together. Using both film and digital capture, Kate stretches her images to beyond the expected representation to a magical and reverent imaging of the land.
