Soho Photo Gallery's Alternative Process Competition
Posted by Adam Hurly on 18 July 2008.
JPG is teaming with Soho Photo Gallery of New York City to promote Soho's Fourth Annual Alternative Processes Competition. The competition is open to U.S.-based artists at least 18 years of age, with the exception of members of Soho Photo Gallery.
Soho Photo Gallery is the oldest artist-run photography gallery in New York City showcasing a broad spectrum of imagery by emerging and veteran photographers. It was established in 1971 by a group of photojournalists and avant-garde photographers who were seeking an alternative gallery space in which to exhibit work.
Alternative process prints include (but are not limited to): Cyanotype, Van Dyke Brown, Tintype, Bromoil, Platinum, Palladium, and Polaroid image transfer. Digital prints, c-prints and silver prints are not eligible. If you have questions concerning eligible forms, you can email Margery Franklin.
Photographer Dan Estabrook is judging the competition. He is recognized for his use of 19th century techniques to create innovative contemporary art. Mixing media and processes, he has investigated the early history of photography to suit his own purposes.
Here's the entry form. The deadline is August 1, and the gallery will run November 6-29. The entry fee is $40 for up to five submissions, which should be in the form of work prints or slides; digital files will not be accepted. First, second and third place winners will receive modest cash awards. A reception will be held on November 6.
Make JPG proud!
