Cell Phone Photography Show: Shout and Tell

StoneCrop Gallery   /   Deadline: 05/16/14

Fees: $15.00

Cell phone photography show at StoneCrop Gallery. 

The implementation of cell phones as photographic devices has been a game-changer in the world of photography-for good and for bad. Digital cameras have been changing photography for years, but the cell phone camera is perhaps the ultimate catalyst in this evolution: capture, process, and output can all take place on one device. Our cell phone photography shows have more or less only celebrated this new form of the medium, but this year we are asking WHY. 

This is not a new question, nor a concern that will subside in the near future. Creating a physical space for cell phone photographs is just a start. We want to know how the application of your cell phone has impacted your photographic practice, why you choose to use this method, and where you think cell phone photography will lead us. Whether you are an amateur or professional, whether you simply enjoy communicating with images instead of words, whether you are an occasional image-maker or you live for photography-we want to know what drives you to make cell phone images and why. 
LocationStoneCrop Gallery, 805 Shore Road, Cape Neddick, ME, 03902. 

Eligibility: Anyone with a cell phone camera. Must be 18 or old or have parental permission. Requirements- Artists are invited to submit up to 5 images for selection.
- Cost of submission is $15.00. 
- All files must be submitted as JPGs. Preferred size is 1800px on the largest side at 180dpi. No images may be smaller than 720px on the largest side at 72dpi. If you require assistance with file sizing, please contact us.
- Please name all files by artists name, first to last, and number to correspond with title of photograph (i.e., SmithJane_1, SmithJane_2, etc).
Evaluation Criteria: Applicants will be notified by e-mail of decision.

The American South Aint-Bad Magazine   /   Deadline: 05/01/14

Fees: $15

Aint-Bad Magazine is currently seeking photographic works and writings that strongly define the following : The American South.

The American South is both a reality and a fiction, a conceptual and a cultural entity. As such, it has been famously challenged and perpetuated through photography in the form of singular iconic images in the work of photographers like William Eggleston and in the form of the photo-essay, bridging journalism and fine art as in the work of Walker Evans and James Agee. 

Issue No. 8 of Aint-Bad, a magazine founded in Savannah, Georgia, seeks photographs and essays or photo-essays which engage in contemporary conceptions of The American South and how it is defined and being re-defined; how it effects the rest of the U.S.; the socio-cultural impact of the region as a new reality and a new fiction.

We are accepting works made in the following states: Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, West Virginia.

A select number of artists chosen for this issue may also be included in an exhibition at The Atlanta Contemporary Art Center in Atlanta, Georgia in June 2014 and an additional exhibition opportunity in Savannah, GA is being formulated.

Submission Guidelines : 

Size your images to the following : 
- 1200px on the longest side 72dpi, sRGB, jpeg format. 
- Label the files with your name and numeration. (Example: - - firstname_lastname_1.jpg)
- Date the work and include relevant titles.
- Please include a short artist statement, artist biography and a link to your website. 
- By submitting your work to Aint-Bad Magazine you agree to our Terms and Conditions. 

Deadline for submissions: May 1st, 2014.
