Requirements

Submissions captured digitally will be disqualified without notice. Scanned and post-edited negatives/originals using image editing softwares such as Photoshop remain eligible to be entered.

Awards

* 2-month solo exhibition

* Invitation to Joel Sternfeld's October 20-21, 2018 Master Workshop with $500 traveling stipend

* Global online and in print exposure through multiple interview and exhibition publications (FILM TALKS interview #35, SOLO catalogue, archived FotoFilmic page, etc.)

* Inclusion in FotoFilmic SOLO collection both in store & online

* FotoFilmic REP (1-year trial)

Considerations

Work submitted must be exhibition ready i.e. present itself as a coherent whole. Photographers are allowed to submit edits from different series/bodies of work for up to 20 images total but need to provide separate artist statement paragraphs for juror Joel Sternfeld's reviewal.

Evaluation Criteria

All applications will be personally reviewed by juror Joel Sternfeld (no shortlisting). This award represents a rare opportunity to have unknown or lesser known work being endorsed by a major artistic figure: photographers are encouraged to carefully consider their work edition when entering. Coherency of practice, aesthetic maturity and critical depth will all be key factors in Joel's evaluation of all works entered.
