Juror: Peter Barberie, Curator of Photographs, Philadelphia Museum of Art

The Philadelphia Photo Arts Center is excited to announce A Love Supreme, 2nd Annual Contemporary Photography Competition and Exhibition. This year’s title refers to the dramatic transformation in John Coltrane’s creative process and sound in his legendary recording. Moving away from jazz standards to a spiritual and instinctual way of making music, Coltrane forever changed his medium. In this spirit, today’s photographers are creating new visual languages, pushing the medium in unprecedented and unpredictable ways, forever changing how we define photography.

Winning entries will be exhibited at PPAC from June 9 – August 27, 2011 and will be included in the exhibition catalog. First, second, and third prize winners will receive $500, $200, and $100 in cash prizes plus a $50 gift certificate for PPAC’s digital services. The competition is open to all subject matter and photographic processes. Work must have been created in the last 3 years. The entry fee is $40 for a maximum of 5 images. Enhanced lab members of PPAC do not need to send entry fee. Entry fees are non refundable.

All entries must be received by 11:59pm on Friday, May 13th. Entries can be delivered to PPAC or submitted online at http://philaphotoarts.slideroom.com.

Provocation



The New York Photo Festival, for its third juried photo exhibition, is accepting submissions of photographic work that shatters definitions of the passively accepted, and open the door to social change.



The goal of the Provocation exhibition is to showcase photographic work that deals with social issues and social change (whether political, personal, or inter-personal). 



We are looking for images that capture change in the making, as well as photographs that have the potential to propel a society to experimentation and to embark on new projects that could lead to a renewal and revitalization of social consciousness. 


*****

Provocation is most frequently and mistakenly couched in negative terms applied to persons and behaviors that lack “normalcy.”



In a world pervaded by power imbalances, those who belong to the power elite set the norms for the masses to follow — standards which serve to legitimize and enshrine their advantageous position in the body politic. The photographer-provocateur represents a challenge to such authority, and acts as a social critic, one who by his or her actions calls the legitimacy of convention and “normalcy” into account, and thus becomes a threat to the systems in power. 



Drawn from online submissions, 85 images will be selected and exhibited at The powerHouse Arena in Dumbo, Brooklyn. 
Provocation – presented by the New York Photo Festival – will be on show from March 14 to April 3.

Submission Deadline: February 25, 2011
