The juror for this portrait exhibit will be looking for portraits that "bring the viewer into a visual dialogue with the sitter". It’s a challenge to have such rapport with your subject that they let down their guard and suddenly you know that you have an extraordinary Portrait – with a capital "P"! 

Have you got portrait shots that draw out your subjects in ways that reveals personality, character, emotions? How does this happen? This is what earned early photographers the title of "spirit catchers"!

Awards:

• The opportunity to have your work evaluated by a qualified juror for display in our Vermont gallery with very little expense or hassle. We provide free matting and framing of accepted entries for the duration of each of our exhibitions, subject to standard sizes. Photographers set their own prices if they wish to sell their work and retain all rights to their photographs.

There are two ways you can submit your images: online via website and by email, but there will be an additional $5 fee for email entries.

prepare your files for upload. Make sure they are jpg files, no larger than 1280 pixels on the longest side, set to the highest quality, and file size < 2 megabytes.  You can name them whatever you like but you will not be able to upload the same file name twice. Please don’t include any spaces or you name in the file name.

Selected artists will need to mail in prints. For artists outside the US, to avoid slow mailing problems for accepted images, Vermont Photo Space Gallery can print your image for $25.00 USD.
