Compete NYC4PA Call for Artists – Primary Colors
Opportunity Description
International Deadline: October 20, 2024 – The New York Center for Photographic Art (NYC4PA) invites photographers world-wide to submit images using any photographic process (print, image transfer, emulsion transfer, encaustic, etc.).
RED, YELLOW, and BLUE are the three basic paint colors an artist needs to create all the colors they use on their palate. Although most of what we see in our daily life is the world of color generated from the infinite number of combinations of these elements, each stands out on its own as an important visual element.
This competition is about images in which one of these colors is a critical component. You will submit each image into one of the categories RED, YELLOW, or BLUE. Do you have a monochrome image with a red car parked at the curb, a portrait with a funky pair of yellow sunglasses or a city image with a blue bench as the major element. Have you modified a print to be all shades of red? Essentially any image where red, yellow or blue stands out as an important part of the composition is fits the bill. Be creative and send us your best!
There will be 10 cash prizewinners, 20 Juror Selections and 20 Honorable Mentions.
