FOOD glorious FOOD
Some of you think my food obsession is, well, a little over the top. And, a couple of you have suggested that I drop the food references and pictures and just stick to the art deadlines, but on both occasions I have respectfully declined to remove the food from the food-themed art blog. At the end of the day, though, my posts have precious-little to do with food. Today is monumental. Today is the day that Food is both the opening paragraph AND the theme of the Call. It seems only appropriate that one of my wonderful readers should take the Juror’s award for THIS show of all shows. Keep me updated, folks…
Check out this Call for Entries from the Center for Fine Art Photography in Colorado for Food. The theme is open, and the entry fee can be as low as $20. Just take a deep breath, believe in your work and take a chance…
CALL for ENTRIES: Food
THEME: Food, in its most basic purpose provides the fundamentals of existence. The act of eating, and what one eats, is based upon many societal implications including location, resources, and access.
For centuries, food has helped distinguish cultures and, on occasion, been the source of rituals. Photography has the ability to transform our vision of food graphically, politically, and culturally.
The theme is open to all interpretations.
Please join in the conversation.
ELIGIBILITY: The exhibition is open to all photographers world wide, amateur and pro.
MEDIA: The Center for Fine Art Photography invites photographers working in all mediums, styles and schools of thought to participate in all of its exhibitions.
