Winning Entries to Arrive at Gallery: Oct. 27-31Next is the sixth annual juried exhibition for Castell Photography. We loved this concept so much last year we’ve decided to implement it for all future juried exhibitions…what is next in contemporary photography? SHOW US!
This year’s competition will be juried by Elizabeth Avedon, independent curator and writer. Next is an open call for entries of contemporary photo based works. The curator is looking to see exceptional photography with a unique perspective and a cohesive look. Works submitted should be from a single, unified body of work. We encourage entrants to challenge themselves to excite our juror, who has her finger on the pulse of contemporary photography. Show her new photographic visions that she hasn’t seen before.
Deadline to enter is Oct. 1.
