Fees

There is no fee to apply, but all applicants must be active members of the CCNY. A one-year Participating Membership is $48, which covers the 6-10 images that each applicant could upload in this competition.

Eligibility

The competition is open to all U.S. residents 18 years or older who are CCNY members. CCNY staff, Board members, workspace fellows, artists-in-residence, and their families are not eligible. Only photographs or photo-based work will be considered.

Requirements

Please submit online using CallForEntry.org (CAF) There is no extra fee for submitting through CAF, and once you register to the CAF system, you are more easily able to access other calls for entry and submit to those using a standardized procedure. CCNY will only be accepting entries submitted through this system. Go to our website (www.cameraclubny.org) for information on how to submit or see more detailed guidelines.

Full details are on www.cameraclubny.org. Please submit only the following materials via the online service:

1) Work Sample
Each applicant may submit between six to ten (6-10) images for consideration. Additional images will not be considered.

2) Entry Form
Complete the competition entry form on our online system. This shouldn't take too long, but you would need to create a free log-in account on CAF first.

3) Artist statement and resume (optional)
Applicants are strongly encouraged to provide an Artist Statement (200 words or less) and a one-page resume. Artist statements should address the work submitted.

Awards

Selected applicants will be featured in an exhibition at Photoville sponsored by CCNY in September 2014. Winners and honorable mentions will also be featured on the CCNY website. The first place selection will receive a $500.00 cash award. Sales will be encouraged. (A 30% commission applies to all sales.)

Considerations

Finalists will be notified in June. The winners will then be informed as to the deadline for receipt of their work for the exhibition at Photoville sponsored by CCNY in September 2014. All work must be framed and ready for hanging.
