CALL FOR ENTRIES, SHOW THE WORLD WHY YOU PHOTOGRAPH!

In April of 2011, the Vermont Center for Photography will present an exhibit titled, “What Matters About Photography.” We hope that by exploring what matters with images and writings we will get to some kind of understanding of photography’s place in the world of ideas and art. Please post your thoughts and photographic examples about what matters on our wordpress blog. We hope this discussion will lead to what the April exhibit will be. You are also welcome to submit to this juried show. Instructions for submissions below.

The Vermont Center for Photography invites you to participate in WHAT MATTERS ABOUT PHOTOGRAPHY, Images and Commentary. A juried exhibition APRIL 1-MAY 1, 2011.
