A Biennial exhibit of Night Photography
The Nocturnes.com invites all interested artists to enter our sixth biennial
online Night Photography Exhibition, The Nocturnes
2010. This competition is open to all Night Photographers
(NPs), all photo media - and film cameras are OK, too! We ask only that
your final outcome would normally be a fine photographic print - b/w,
color, alternative, whatever - presenting mysterious, riveting nocturnal
imagery.
Stuck on the idea of what constitutes a "biennial nocturne?" Have a look
at the online exhibit area of The Nocturnes Web site, specifically the
immediate predecessor to this exhibit, The
Nocturnes 2008 - http://www.thenocturnes.com/exhibits/2008.html
- or one of our other, more theme-driven offerings, Town
and Country - http://www.thenocturnes.com/exhibits/tc.html
- for an idea of what we might be looking for. Also have a look at some
of the Gallery pages of The Nocturnes Web site, especially http://www.thenocturnes.com/gallery/pankov.html
(Philip Pankov's page), Troy Paiva's rather colorful page: http://www.thenocturnes.com/gallery/troyp.html,
or http://www.thenocturnes.com/gallery/jenks.html
(Stu Jenks' page) for inspiration.
Entry Fee and Deadline
The format for this show will be a little diferent than our previous
biennials, in that the final selections by the Juror(s) will be limited
to Twenty pieces by Ten artists - Twenty / Ten - two (2)
pieces by each artist. There is no limit to the number of pieces submitted
per artist for initial selction. Entry Fee: $25 for up to 3 entries; each
additional entry is $5. Postmarked dates for entries are NOT acceptable
for this competition - we will need to RECEIVE your 'hard copy' of entry
form and fee by December 18, 2010! Please NOTE: Entries from outside
the U.S. should be sent well in advance of the December 18, 2010 deadline,
as international mail deliveries are often delayed up to a week or two.
Exhibition Dates:
Exhibition runs from December 25, 2010 through January 31, 2011. Accepted
work will then reside in a developing archive of nocturnal imagery on
The Nocturnes Web site after the exhibition closes - available to NPrs
and those interested in Night Photography, worldwide.
What to send:
Send jpeg files at 72 dpi named appropriately for the Web: 8 letters-dot-3
letter extension (e.g.- niteshot.jpg) all lowercase letters. The size
should be no greater than 600 pixels in any one dimension. Square medium
format film images are optimal at 600x600 pixels; and scanned 35mm film
images should be approximately 400x600 pixels.
If you send images via snail mail, the files should be small enough (see
above) to fit on a floppy (use lots of protective cardboard for shipping
disk) - we will accept CDs of your images, also. An even better alternative
is to send us the URL of images that are already on a web page, and we
can 'retrieve' those images. As you might have gathered, we are trying
to avoid a flood of emails and haphazard, ineffective attachments being
sent to the site.
Awards:
Two (2) Awards will be awarded at the discretion of the Awards Juror (TBA)
- a Best of Show and an Honorable Mention; and the amount of prize money
awarded is dependent on the number of entries received and selected for
exhibition. This final jurying will be done from a preliminary selection
of works by members of The Nocturnes.
Sales:
Sales will be encouraged - No Commission taken for any of our online exhibits
- and direct links to artist sites or emails will be provided. Artwork
remains Copyright of the participating artists. Pages on the Web site
are Copyright, The Nocturnes, and Pacific Media Arts. The exhibit, The
Nocturnes 2010 is Copyright Pacific Media Arts and The
Nocturnes Web site.
