CALL for ENTRIES: Natural Encounters

Learn more about the Natural Encounters Exhibit from NY Photo Curator!

just NUTS

I shop from a half-dozen grocery stores. Because all but one is out of town, my menu is often reflected in my travels for the week.  Thai food only shows up on the table when I make it 30 miles out to get natural peanut butter.  I mean, the local grocer has something called “natural”, but I think we can agree that just because something CAN be eaten doesn’t mean it SHOULD be eaten –natural or not.  However, I do love the junky peanut butter cereal available everywhere that is neither natural nor contains actual peanut butter.  Hi, my name is Rachel, and I’m a food snob hypocrite.  It’s complicated.  This next Call is all about our relationship to the natural world.  I can’t wait to see this one…

Check out this Call for Entries from N.Y. Photo Curator (online) for the Natural Encounters exhibit. $20 entry, no shipping, plus art publication for ALL entrants.  Be sure to check out this juror’s work; it is fantastic.  Take a look…

Natural Encounters
from N.Y. Photo Curator

ELIGIBILITY: Open to all artists

MEDIA: Photography

THEME:  Natural Encounters. We now know that 60% of primate species are threatened with extinction, as are hundreds of other species. In the the Arctic, large areas of permafrost are melting, and an ice swath the size of Delaware is separating in Antarctica. These are signposts for a hopeless future for our planet, and it’s our responsibility as artists to call attention to, and alter, this course.  Please submit images that address the connection and interdependence between humans and the natural world. The images may or may not be documentary. I’m looking for emotional impact as well as a strong composition. I encourage all photographic techniques, although the message is more paramount than the medium.” –Fran Forman
