ONWARD ‘09 Announced — the Weight of 10,000 Postcards
Project Basho is pleased to announce ONWARD, our 2nd annual juried competition exclusively featuring the work of emerging photographers with unique vision and talent. This year, we are inviting Peter Barberie, Curator of Photographs at the Philadelphia Museum of Art to be the juror. The deadline for the submission is November 14th. For more information, please download the entry form from our website.
Last year’s competition and exhibition were very well received. Nearly 300 photographers, nationally and internationally, submitted more than 1200 photographs for consideration. Andrea Modica, last year’s juror, selected 59 photographs for the exhibition which took place during months of January and February. At the opening reception in January, more than 200 people attended to celebrate the work of those who were selected along with Ms. Modica. We were very excited that we were able to attract such an audience for our first juried competition and we are looking forward to this year’s competition.
We will use this blog to make announcements and send news about the event. We will also include interesting anecdotes from the organizer’s point of view and interviews with those who are involved such as Peter Barberie as well as those who were in the show last year.
So stay tuned.
