$35
The Light Factory's 12th Annuale is open to everyone. Entrants must enter 5–7 images from a specific series or body of work. Artists may submit up to two different applications. If you submit an installation, it should include only 5–7 images. Please include a short statement (no more than 150 words) about the work along with a current résumé or curriculum vitae.
Selected artists are responsible for packing (in a reusable container) and paying for the shipping and transit insurance of work to and from The Light Factory. An honorarium of $200 is awarded to accepted artists to help offset these costs. Please, no packing peanuts. Work may also be hand-delivered. All work must arrive ready to install. If the work is not gallery-ready or does not meet professional standards, it may be omitted from the exhibition. Accepted work that differs significantly from the entry images or that suffers from poor presentation will be disqualified. All work must arrive at The Light Factory by April 10, 2020. Accepted work will remain on display for the duration of the exhibition. All work will be returned (or should be picked up) by August 1, 2020. Artists are responsible for all shipping and travel costs.
Winners will be featured in an exhibition that will consist of 4–6 photographers, each of whom will be represented by 5–7 images (size permitting).
This year's juror is Julie Grahame.
All photographic techniques and approaches are welcome.
