CALL for ENTRIES: Monsters

toe-mate-OH

Winter is bearing down on my culinary sensibilities; it does every year. In need of tomatoes for a recipe, I ventured into the produce section of my local grocer on a mission. I was greeted with $4/lb. hot house tomatoes shipped in from a climate that should not require a hot house for them to flourish. The most amazing part is that I only had to buy one. Why? Because the one tomato I bought, while beautifully folded like so many of my favorite heirloom varieties, was dense like a cannon ball and nearly three-quarters the size of my head. Monster tomatoes are in a store near you. (Spring can’t come soon enough.) In the meantime, your monstrous work is welcomed by this next Call. It is the first Call for this online publication; don’t miss out…

Check out this inaugural Call for Entries from N.Y. Photo Curator (online) for the Monsters exhibit. $20 entry, no shipping, plus art publication for ALL entrants. $20 entry for this unique call. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES:
Monsters
from N.Y. Photo Curator

•

ELIGIBILITY: Open to all artists

MEDIA: Photography

THEME: Monsters. “Teratology. Cryptozoology. Therianthropy. All of these terms are related to the study of monsters. Monsters are at once foreign and familiar, and they take on a good deal of cultural work, reflecting back to us our own monstrous side as well as representing “otherness”. Protectors or destroyers, they elicit reflection on the complexities of our nature . . . As a society, we consume monster-centric media in mass quantities, from volumes of fairy tales to horror flicks to serial killers presented on screen and in podcasts. From Totoro to Pan’s Labyrinth, be they gentle or malicious, monsters demonstrate a broad and intensely creative diversity of form, and there is a rich art historical archive of images and sculpture dating back centuries and reaching across cultural boundaries.“ –Anne Eder

DEADLINE: January 31, 2018 (Midnight PST)

ENTRY FEE: $20 for up to 3. 20% of artist fees go to 2 charities –½ to the curator’s choice of charity & ½ goes to the 1st place winner’s choice. Anne Eder has chosen the Fleisher Art Memorial.

Eder teaches courses in alternative and material processes in photography and in interdisciplinary projects, and will be joining the roster of educators at Harvard University and at Penumbra Foundation in NYC this spring. She is also a reviewer for Lensculture.

AWARDS: The curator chooses 1st place, 2nd place & 3 honorable mentions. The 1st place winner will receive a review by one or more curators including a Q&A about the photographer’s work. In addition, their image will be on the home page for a month. 2nd place & honorable mentions will have their image shown along with their bio, artist statement, C.V. and a link back to their website.

CALL for ENTRIES: Boundaries

Posted on October 2, 2017October 3, 2017 by R.L. Gibson

do not EAT

Everyone has a food boundary, a line they will not cross, an item they will not even consider consuming. For many of my friends, eating something once alive, meat-poultry-fish, is out of the question. My boundary is a moving target, but I absolutely will not eat things WHILE they are alive. That’s a thing. Seriously. Just the idea makes me never want to eat again. This next Call is all about boundaries, real or perceived. The interpretations are innumerable.

Check out this Call for Entries from L.A. Photo Curator (online) for the Boundaries exhibit. $20 entry, no shipping, plus art publication for ALL entrants. What is your proverbial line in the sand? Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES: 5 Elements

Posted on November 4, 2013 by R.L. Gibson

SMOKE
gets in your eyes

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…

Check out this Call for Entries from the Darkroom Gallery (Essex Junction, VT) for Five Elements. The entry fee at Darkroom is always low ($24), and they will provide free matting & framing if you work in their standard sizes. Take a look…

Five Elements

Photograph the beauty of nature, five elements provide the foundation for our entire physical world.

Earth, and everything on it, is the product of different combinations of the five basic elements: earth, water, fire, air, and space. Everything found in our world is unique because it contains a varying ratio of these five elements.

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. A multitude of spiritual practices revolve around these five important pieces of the universe.

They are looking for photographic depictions of the natural world. Landscapes, macro & micro shots, abstractions & realistic images that capture the beauty, uniqueness and magic which makes up our planet.

CALL for ENTRIES: Eye on the Street

Posted on July 14, 2013 by R.L. Gibson

BUMPER CAR
burgers

Eating in the car is dangerous. Don’t get me wrong; I’ve done my share of car consumption. The back floorboard of my car looks like a fast food trash can sometimes. But on my way home yesterday, I watched a young woman t-bone a truck with her compact car while munching on a burger. Her view seemed blocked by the wax paper wrapper. I’m just saying, “Be careful out there.” This next Call is another reason to keep your eyes on the street. Great show…

Check out this Call for Entries for Eye on the Street from the Kiernan Gallery (Lexington, Virginia). The entry is very reasonable. The theme is fun, and the juror is active and easily researched. Take a look…

CALL for ENTRIES:
Eye on the Street

Street photographers are guerrilla documentarians. They capture the world as they see it, using small and forgotten moments to present a larger narrative. Themes of class, age, occupation, or background are brought to life by small stories that evoke our shared humanity.

The keen eyes of street photographers see what others take for granted, and depict the richness and variety of our public lives. For Eye on the Street, The Kiernan Gallery seeks street photography in all its forms.

ELIGIBILITY:
Open to all artists

MEDIA:
All photographic media are encouraged.

TO-MAY-TO
TO-MAH-TO

My mother hates refrigerated tomatoes, mayonnaise and cucumbers. I think all produce is best eaten cold. Homemade mayo is a guilty pleasure, and gyros would suck without cucumber. We eat very differently. But my mother also taught me that just because something isn’t done MY way doesn’t mean it is done the WRONG way. This next Call is about doing things a little differently. Time is almost up…

CALL for ENTRIES: Plastic Camera Show

Posted on October 26, 2011 by R.L. Gibson

J-E-L-L-NO?

The newest way isn’t always the best way. I love new fusion foods and the newest in scientifically gastronomic menus. But we still eat Jell-O at my house…with cocktail fruit. No kidding. I have cookbooks with wonderfully vivid pictures of savory Jello-O creations like salmon mousse terrine mold. Some ideas are worth preserving, although I cannot vouch for the salmon terrine. This Call is asking you to preserve a means and method that is a little less than current too. Interested in exploring this opportunity?

Check out this Call for Entries from RayKo Photo Center (San Francisco, CA) for the 5th Annual International Juried Plastic Camera Show. The entry fee is low, and I can’t wait to see how many of you own a plastic camera…or end up buying one. Take a look…
