Regarding the entry form
We have received a couple of questions regarding how to fill out the entry form. Please take a moment to review the detailed explanation below. Filling out the form correctly will help us to input your information accurately.
1. Contact information: Email address is very important as we use it as the primary means of communication. If you do not have one, be sure to include your phone # as an alternative.
2. About your work:
- Title: it is a good practice to title your work for identification purposes. If all of your work is “untitled” and one of them is selected, you may not be able to identify which “untitled” is accepted so easily.
- Medium: this is the name of the process you are using to create your work. Here are some common types of medium:
- Silver print or gelatin silver print: a traditional b&w print
- Chromogenic print or c-print: a traditional color print printed with an enlarger
- Inkjet print: digital prints made with an inkjet printer
- Digital c-print: traditional color print printed from a digital file
- For any other processes such as historical processes, please name it.
3. How did you hear about ONWARD?: This is very useful information for our marketing purposes. If you can help us identify the source, we would appreciate it.
4. Signature: we will use some of the selected work for marketing ONWARD. The primary purpose is to create postcards for the show in January as well as post on the online gallery on our website. We are also working with both print and online media to publish the selected work. Again, all of our usage is specifically related to marketing ONWARD and Project Basho. We also want to provide the opportunity for the selected photographers’ work to be seen by a wider audience.
5. Check list: Please make sure you have everything in the envelope especially the SASE for those who are submitting work via slides and want them returned. Please note that we will not return CDs.
6. You can join our membership and you will be entitled to take $10 off your entry fee along with many other benefits. Project Basho is a small and dedicated organization, and membership is one of our programs aimed at building a strong community of photographers. For more details, please visit our website.
