Compete NYC4PA Call for Artists: Portals
Opportunity Description
International Deadline: May 19, 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, black and white, etc.).
Portals is one of our favorite themes. It allows for so much creativity capturing things that are all around wherever we may be.
Doors and windows and arches and frames and tunnels are so much a part of our lives. There are so many ways to think about them. We can look at them, or through them. We can poke our hand out the window to test the weather, or just see a wonderful scene a little differently when framed by an arch or array of tree limbs in a park.
For this call your images can focus on the “portal” itself like a closed door or a wonderful windowsill, or the view through the portal to the other side. Does it frame the main subject of the photograph or does it add another dimension, such as the distortions of old glass or reflections in windowpanes.
Winners will receive $4,000 in cash awards, be featured on the NYC4PA Online Gallery and in the winners catalog. The Grand Prize-winning image will be posted on the NYC4PA home page.
ELIGIBILITY
This Call for Entries is open worldwide to both amateur and professional photographers. NYC4PA invites photographers working in all mediums, styles and schools of thought to participate. Experimental and mixed techniques are welcome. Only 2-D work is eligible.
