Theme: SELF-SEARCHING: The Art of Self-Portraiture

Within the photographic genre of self-portraiture, some of the most probing, surprising, and thoughtful images have been made in the history of the medium.  For "Self-Searching" we seek self-portraits that go beyond surface appearance to comment on the hopes, dreams, fears, and identities of the individuals pictured. 

Juror Aline Smithson will choose forty photos for exhibition at PhotoPlace Gallery in Middlebury, Vermont. She will select an addiitonal thirty-five images for inclusion in the "On-Line Gallery Annex." All seventy-five photographs will be reproduced in a full-color exhibiiton catalogue that will be available for purchase. We offer free matting and framing for accepted photographs that fit our pre-cut mat sizes for the duration of the exhibition.

We only accept digital files. All digital images should be provided as jpgs only, 72 ppi, image width not to exceed 1024 pixels on the longest side.
