CALL for ENTRIES: By Design

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

OINK

Package design truly affects my food purchases. From clusters of naturally adorable clementines in a little wooden crate to the little pink pig on my favorite Brown Mix, No Pudge Fudge. Note: These are the best brownies I have EVER eaten in my life. My family is addicted, and I appreciate that just calls for yogurt–we prefer to use Greek yogurt with a little extra vanilla. I’m not certain if my background in graphic design makes MORE or LESS susceptible. This next Call is all about Design. You’ve got the eye; now it is your turn to show it off!

Check out this Call for Entries from the Darkroom Gallery (Essex Junction, VT) for Photography by Design. The entry fee at Darkroom is always low ($20), and they will provide free matting & framing if you work in their standard sizes. The jury method for this one is a change from the norm with TWO jurors EACH choosing a winner. 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:
Photography by Design

There are principles of good design that when used properly, will make a good image much better, and a great image dynamite. With an understanding of how to apply these principles in making your images, you’ve got a excellent chance at elevating even dull subject matter to visually enticing, and in some instances, simply persuasive.

Does your image use point, line, color, form or shape, space, texture, and/or pattern to effectively communicate your intent? Does the image portray a sense of unity, balance, proportion, rhythm/repetition/similarity, hierarchy/dominance/emphasis/figure to ground. Let’s also add a few of the gestalt principles into the mix: Closure (our tendency to see and assume something which is not technically there/to fill in the missing pieces), Continuance (our tendency to follow a visual or suggested path), and Proximity (the two-dimensional relationship of objects to each other within the frame). If you have images that clearly illustrate one or several of the above mentioned elements and/or principles of design, they would love to see them.

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

DEADLINE:
November 14, 2012

NOTIFICATION:
November 20, 2012

JUROR: Joe Baraban has been photographing since the age of 24, where he took a job as a Medical Photographer at the Methodist Hospital in Houston (there aren’t many of us who can brag about a field entry like that!) . He became Freelance soon thereafter, and over the next forty years built a commercial portfolio including work for clients from Coca Cola to Hennessy, Cessna to Boeing, and IBM to Microsoft. His resume also includes most of the Fortune 500 companies. He has photographed the full line automotive brochures for Acura, Saturn, and Range Rover, not to mention campaigns for Jaguar, Ford, Toyota. Although he’s rather famous in the auto industry, you’ll see his work spans portraiture, travel, industrial, and general commercial with a visual voice clearly seated in eye-popping design.

AWARDS: All selected entries are exhibited in our gallery and included in a full color exhibit catalog. Juror’s Choice receives a 30×48″ vinyl exhibit banner featuring their image. People’s Choice gains free entry into a future exhibit.

SALES: Darkroom offers free matting and framing of accepted entries for the duration of each of their exhibitions, subject to standard sizes. Photographers set their own prices if they wish to sell their work and retain all rights to their photographs. For commission details, go to the bottom of the Submisssion Rules page!

REMINDER: In Transit

Posted on October 18, 2012 by R.L. Gibson

REMINDER:
PARTNERS
in the
SUBLIME

The transition from Summer to Fall foods in the South is an odd muddle of unlikely cohorts. If I hit the farmers market at the right time of year, I can get beautiful lettuce and huge heirloom tomatoes while I am picking out my pumpkin for carving. You’ve gotta love a long growing season; it seems like every veggie gets a second chance to produce. This next Call is all about transit of people and things with places to be and people to see. Investigate…

Check out this Call for Entries for In Transit from the Kiernan Gallery (Lexington, Virginia). The entry is very reasonable, and the juror is well-documented. Take a look…

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

CALL for ENTRIES:
In Transit

Whether by road, sea, rail, air, or other means, vehicles are both essential and ubiquitous in our daily lives. Photographers have documented transportation history, as NASA launched rockets, Ford assembled cars, and the Wright brothers took flight. As modes of transportation, photographers observe the intersections of cultures on public transit and the isolation of solitary commuters on the highway. Modes of transit spawn communities, and photographers have documented biker gangs and houseboats.

Journeys are photographed out of windows of speeding vehicles; blurred, voyeuristic, and fleeting. The vehicles themselves are cultural icons and status symbols: sailboats, muscle cars, Harley-Davidsons, and fixed gear bicycles. For In Transit, The Kiernan Gallery seeks images from and of the vehicles that move us.

ELIGIBILITY: Open to all artists

MEDIA: All photographic media are encouraged.

DEADLINE: October 26, 2012

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

ENTRY FEE: 5 for $25, each add’l $5

JUROR: Jock Montgomery has worked as a professional guide and expedition leader – and of course as a photographer – in some of the most beautiful spots in the world. Straight out of college, Jock moved to Nepal to train raft guides and lead trekking, river running and mountain biking trips in Nepal, Tibet, India and Bhutan. He has taken more than 70 groups on a variety of trips in the Himalayas, as well as co-lead numerous kayaking expeditions with first descents in Nepal, Bhutan and India.

After 12 amazing years in Katmandu, Jock is now based in Bangkok, Thailand, with his French wife and co-explorateur Annie Miniscloux where he is in demand as a commercial and editorial assignment photographer. He was the sole photographer for Menam Chao Phraya, River of Life and Legend, a 252-page coffee-table book about Thailand’s principal waterway. He speaks Nepali fluently and is conversant in Thai.

AWARDS: For this exhibition, juror Jock Montgomery will select up to 30 images for display in the main gallery, and up to an additional 40 to be included in the online gallery. All images will be reproduced in an exhibition catalogue available for purchase. A Juror’s Choice and Director’s Choice 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.

HOLD THE PLASTIC
please

I suspect you already know I’ve got a little touch of the obsessive compulsive. But some days, it really rears its head. My family is trying to be greener, generally speaking, and I find it actually can be cheaper to live this way if you are careful. My newest pet peeve is people who buy one item in the produce section and feel the overwhelming need to put it in a plastic bag. You’re going to wash it and/or peel it anyway right? Why does your single lemon / lime / onion / avocado need a bag? Who designed this system. I digress. This next Call really wants the BEST in design. Take a look…

Check out this Call for Submissions from 4AV for silkscreen designs for a line of women’s graphic tees. If your design wins, you walk away with some cash as well as reproduction rights after the first printing. Investigate…

I YAM
what I am

I’m not a fan of mustard greens. I love spinach, but mustard greens do nothing for me. I’m told exposure therapy is the answer, and that it is an acquired taste. Really? I don’t want to work hard to like food. This next Call could be exposure in a good way. Investigate…

CALL for ENTRIES: Illumination of Imagination

Posted on October 13, 2012 by R.L. Gibson

TEA FOR ONE
coffee for none

My husband is a tea drinker, and it is my fault. So, I don’t like the smell of brewed coffee. (I hear the nasty emails being pecked out on keyboards across the world.) I haven’t drank a cup of coffee in 18+ years. I think brewed coffee smells like skunk spray. No joke. So for a long time, my husband used a French press because the odor was lessened. But then the plunger on the press broke, and neither of us ordered a new one. Now, he drinks Earl Grey every morning. I feel a little bad. (Not really.) Hobbits like tea, or so we are led to believe. You figure out how that is connected to this next Call by investigating for yourself…

Check out this Call for Entries from Six Summit Gallery (Ivoryton, CT) for Illumination of Imagination! The entry fee can be as low as $10. This could be a great opportunity for you to sell art AND the juror is very well documented. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES: Red Eye

MELT the chocolate
BURN the sauce

Desserts are born out of boredom, at least for me. I have a hard time sitting still. So, while I’m waiting for pasta to boil or sauce to thicken, I often get a great idea for dessert. By the way, while pursuing a recipe for that illusive dessert, I often overcook the pasta and/or burn the sauce. This next Call is a much better way to multi-task. Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries from TKH Productions for the Red Eye Writing Contest. I don’t normally publish writing calls without an art call, but I couldn’t resist this sort of romantic, pie-in-the-sky possibility. It really COULD be you, but you have to try…

REMINDER: Open Call in Monterey

Posted on October 11, 2012 by R.L. Gibson

OH MY DARLIN’

It is clementine season. Every year around this time, clementines start popping up in the grocery store, and every year I muse over the fact that they seem more like summer fruit than winter. Did you know that in California (where they were grown as early as 1904), a lot of people call them Christmas Oranges? Who knew. This next Call also hails from California. Take a look!

CALL for ENTRIES: Emotion

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

CHEESY
love

I am emotionally attached to goat cheese. I recognize how very irrational that is, but the fact remains that “I love goat cheese.” I dream about it. Eating herb-crusted goat cheese on freshly-backed foccacia with a few capers is the height of emotional eating for me. It can take away almost ANY bad day. No joke. Luckily, my bad days are not too frequent, ha. This next Call wants to know about your Emotional quirks. Don’t miss this chance…

Check out this Call to Artists for Emotion from the Linus Galleries (California). The exhibit offers an online listing as well as the possibility for a showing in one of their brick and mortar galleries. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES: Wine Label Contest

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

HAILING
a cab

I would hurt someone for a pepper-crusted cut of ahi right now. Understand, ahi is not a common food in my house. I’m too cheap, and Gatlinburg isn’t really known for more exotic varieties of fish. But some days you wake up and you just want what you want. You know what would be even better? A big glass of Cabernet Sauvignon to go with the ahi tuna. Okay, the Cab I can pull off pretty easily. This next Call gives you a perfect reason to sample a little Cabernet Sauvignon as well. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES: Cake

Posted on October 8, 2012October 8, 2012 by R.L. Gibson

SWEET
STUFF!

I eat more cake than I’d like to admit. In my household, it is most often in the form of cupcakes. It is not because I prefer the taste or portion control of cupcakes. But I find that cupcakes are easier to freeze and store. Did you know that freezing cake (or cupcakes) before they have completely cooled traps some of the moisture in the cake? It also makes them easier to cut or decorate. This next Call will test the depth of your taste for the sweet stuff. Take a look…

Check out this Call for Entries from The Shoe Factory Art Co-op (Rochester, NY) for Let them Eat Cake at Starry Nites Café. Don’t discount the sales and exposure available is a retail gallery setting! Take a chance…
