CALL for ENTRIES: Urban Legends

Posted on December 10, 2013December 10, 2013 by R.L. Gibson

TURKEY
lurkey

I don’t eat turkey on holidays. I’ve never liked the pressure of culinary conformity, or any other kind for that matter. I usually have ham or duck. Interestingly enough, I cooked a turkey the week before Thanksgiving this year because they were on sale. But, all of the stories of people burning their houses down while attempting to deep fry their turkey don’t make me want to try that method. I realize those stories are exaggerated to almost urban legend status, but I am simply not enticed. I AM enticed by this next Call focused on urban legends though…

Check out this Call for Entries from the Non-Fiction Gallery (Savannah, GA) for Common Knowledge, and exhibit exploring proverbial sayings, urban legends, folklore and catchphrases. AND, the entry fee is only $20…

FOOD

FOOD

Can we talk about food porn? I think no one will be shocked to hear that I post pictures of my food to social media. Yes, I am one of those people. But what I want to know is why most people highly filter their pics. You don’t OWE it to the restaurant to make their food look better than it is. So, are you taking pictures of your food to document a beautiful meal or fun experience? OR, are you just trying to “one up” your friends? Maybe food pics should just be representational of what your really see before you–kind of like this next call…

CALL for ENTRIES: 5 Elements

SMOKE

Some people truly excel at cooking out in the elements. I’m not talking about pimped out BBQ grills on your 400 square foot deck. I’m talking about those folks that can rub two sticks together to make fire or bury things in the coals that turn out like gourmet treats. I am not that girl. I’m not really a fan of living in the elements–period. I mastered s’mores & “Angels Riding Horeseback” (cheese dogs) in the Girl Scouts, but I got that badge by the skin of my teeth. I CAN admit the elements ARE beautiful, and this next Call will help you prove it. Great theme…

Whether walking headfirst into a gale of wind or digging our hands into the soil, we possess an inherent familiarity with the elements. All organic and inorganic substances are combinations of them, be it a time-polished rock or a shiny piece of plastic.

DESSERT
not desert,
please

I make a trip to the grocery store everyday. It isn’t my attempt to be more European or even an effort to buy as fresh as possible. No, something just comes up empty, out or missing every single day. It drives me crazy, but I should be grateful. Have you heard of food deserts? Imagine driving 1 1/2 to get to the closest grocery store. I’m going to stop whining, and you take a look at this next call for landscape photography–deserts, not food deserts, included…

Check out this Call for Entries for Mainland from the Kiernan Gallery (Lexington, Virginia). The entry fee is very reasonable, and the theme is a classic. But this classic is challenging. Set yourself apart…

The genre of landscape photography is as varied as the earth itself. Untouched wilderness offers as much rich photographic material as manicured parks and farms.

AWARDS: All images will be reproduced in an exhibition catalogue available for purchase. A Juror’s Choice and Director’s Choice will also be announced and both winners will receive a free copy of the catalogue.

They do reserve the right to negotiate 20% in order to make a sale.
