Photos with Words Juried Exhibition
Contest Description

A photo is purported to be worth a thousand words. As visual images photos communicate on multiple levels in complex ways. But what happens when words are part of a photograph? How can image and text communicate in connected, parallel, or divergent ways?
This juried exhibition will explore the many ways that photographs can incorporate words and the meanings that can result from such combinations. For example, words may be within the image, added in the margin of a photo, or presented in an accompanying wall text.
Forty photos will be selected by juror Liz Lee for exhibition on the walls of PhotoPlace Gallery in Middlebury, VT, and on the gallery’s webpage. An additional 35 images will be chosen for the webpage alone. All selected images will be illustrated in a full-color exhibition catalogue available for purchase. To help artists defray costs, PhotoPlace Gallery offers free matting and framing of exhibited photos, providing they are sized to our pre-cut mats and frame sizes.
