This well-known juried art contest is an annual event with prizes specifically designed to help artists advance their careers and to maximize their exposure to collectors. Not only will selected artists gain exposure by exhibiting their work in the famed Chelsea art community, the competition will be juried by an influential voice in the art world, Mr. Ira Goldberg, Executive Director of the prestigious Art Students League of New York.

Ilse Bormann, one of the selected artists from the 2011 competition, had this to say about her experience: “It was a pleasure to participate in the 2011 Chelsea International Fine Art Competition. It was the second time I took part and I was very proud to be selected this time. It was amazing to have the chance to show my artwork in the Agora Gallery and it was a great feeling to be a New York City exhibited artist. It has motivated me to work even harder and to go my own way in my abstract painting. I would definitely recommend participating in the competition to my friends who are artists.”

The awards available for selected artists include cash prizes, internet promotion on ARTmine, one of the most comprehensive contemporary fine art resources online, and a one-page review with two color images in ARTisSpectrum, a prominent New York art publication. In addition, Mr. Ira Goldberg, Executive Director of The Art Students League of New York, will select the work of at least 25 artists to participate in a group exhibition at Agora Gallery. Awards are valued at a total of $55,000.

Agora Gallery director Angela Di Bello feels strongly that there is more to be gained from entering competitions than prizes and awards. She states: “In addition to providing a valuable career building experience, fine art competitions challenge professional artists as well as art students to create some of their most innovative and finest work. The excitement generated by simply entering a competition and “thinking outside the box” leads to numerous new possibilities and to opening doors that may otherwise remain shut. You must fearlessly take control of your own destiny and experience a quantum leap into the future…Yours!”
2012 Calendar
• February 7, 2012 – Competition opens
• March 13, 2012 – Submission deadline

• August 24th through September 9th – Exhibition for the selected artists

The Chelsea International Fine Art Competition represents not just artists, but the countries and communities they hail from, each piece reflecting a little of humanity’s many faceted soul. Out of respect for this and in an effort to grant joy to children in need, 15% of Agora Gallery’s proceeds of sales resulting from the competition exhibition will be donated to Art Start, an award-winning, nationally recognized program. Art Start works with children and teens facing the daily uncertainties and instabilities of living in homeless shelters. Though these children face many obstacles, they have dreams. Art Start uses the arts to provide them with opportunities for success. It gives them the tools, structure, support and most importantly a chance to be heard.

This call for entry is to “Capture the Moment” and then tell us the story behind it. The story can range from how you came about capturing the image you did to your interpretation of the moment you captured. The images we seek are ones that really engage the viewer and makes them want to know what is going on in the image. (ex. What the thoughts may be in the subjects mind, how you captured such an odd image, why you thought to capture this moment, what does this moment mean to you)

Going beyond social boundaries, standard techniques and established rules, the 2012 Emerging Photographers competition showcases the freshest ideas and trends in today’s photography.

Experimental and mixed techniques are welcome. We encourage submitting images from a singular body of work for a cohesive selection for the Juried Exhibition. A unified body of photographs indicates to the juror you’ve carefully considered your selected edit and are committed to your photography. Artwork selected for gallery exhibition will be limited to FRAMED SIZE of 30x40in.

Since its inception in 2005, Hey, Hot Shot!, the premier international photography competition, has provided over 145 photographers from all over the world with unrivaled exposure, support and recognition. Our esteemed panel of industry professionals selects five photographers per round of competition as the 2011 Hot Shots. From these Hot Shots, one image maker will be selected by Jen Bekman Projects to win the grand prize of $10,000, in addition to the hallmark awards we offer.

Eyephoneography #3 will have the same format of the previous two editions, which proved to be perfect to offer an overview of various mobile photography trends while offering the right amount of room to each photographer to present his/her vision and promote visibility of the photographers in media and promotional efforts.

Some of the eyephoneography #3 photos will also be included in the ongoing Mobile eyephoneography exhibit that is likely to continue touring after the final provisional stop in Seville in January 2013. There will also be a catalog accompanying eyephoneography #3.

The goal is not to find single nice shots. So we encourage you not to simply submit your five nicest/most-liked any-style photos. You will need to submit five of your photos shot and edited on a smartphone.

We are looking for people whose photographic message is powerful and original.
We are looking for interesting stories.
We are looking for mobile photographers with a vision.
We want to put the spotlight on four mobile photographers who have something to say with their images.

Open Now will be shown in the Belfast Photo Factorys own gallery in Belfast and in the prestigious Gallery of Photography in Dublin.

All Open Now submissions will be judged by the submission panel consisting of Donovan Wylie (Magnum Photos), Trish Lambe and Tanya Kiang (both Gallery of Photography)

The “Leica Oskar Barnack Newcomer Award” competition is open to any (prospective) professional photographer aged 25 or under at the time of entering. To take part, participants must send in a series of photographs taken in 2011 or 2012 or long-term projects containing at least one photo from 2011 or 2012. Only one entry per photographer is accepted.

The show is open to all photographers. All forms of photographic expression are encouraged: from film-based to digital capture — black and white darkroom to digital manipulation and alternative processing — out-of-the-camera images to hand-colored photographs and montages.

We have an outstanding juror, Jennifer L. Daly MFA with Distinction-Photography, Art and Art History Instructor at Shasta College. Jennifer describes her view of photography as follows: ” Photography has always been a diverse art form with evolving and emerging technologies, ideas, and styles. As a juror, I look forward to seeing the breadth of the medium from “straight” photography to photo-manipulation, digital, traditional and alternative process and everything in between in order to facilitate an exhibition of interpretations of photography today.”

This international exhibition is the perfect platform to enter the global sphere for any young and inspired photographer. We provide the opportunity in the form of a competition to absolutely anybody who wants a chance to get their work out there. From the most informal instances all the way to an internationally organized event; this prospect doesn’t come by every day.

POST: Photography on Street & Travel begins with a competition. This competition is open to photographers across the world, and allows for up to 3 entries per person. We don’t discriminate between choice of camera, but would prefer that you remain true to the original thought/image and refrain from editing too much.

POST will be held every 6 months, starting with a 50 photographer exhibition in Singapore. Since we are primarily youth powered; the panel of judges who will curate the exhibition will be young as well- but no doubt of incredible skill. Emaho has organized events of its own in the past, and has been associated with a number of others, so is well aware of how to ensure the success of this enterprise.

The six photographers chosen will receive a twelve page spread along with a Q&A interview in Adore Noir magazine. One of the six finalists will have an image chosen by Susan Spiritus to appear on the cover! The cover image will also appear on the Adore Noir website with a link to the selected photographers website for two months.

Often judges will show interest in work that is not selected for the awards but that may be relevant for other purposes. To facilitate a relationship, CENTER provides contact information of all photographers who have advanced to the final rounds of judging. No work is eliminated by pre-screening. All contestants stand to benefit from the submission process by having their work seen by the judges.

The gallery would like to be able to exhibit only the best art that a women artist can submit with any 2D media, in any style and about any subject matter. Women are encouraged to submit their art regardless of where they reside and regardless of their experience or education in the art field.

A group exhibition of the top ten finalists will be held online at the Light Space & Time Online Art Gallery during the month of February 2012. Awards will be for 1st through 5th places and in addition 5 artists will be recognized with Honorable Mention awards.

Depending on the amount and the quality of the entries, these winning categories may be expanded and there also may be Special Recognition awards posted as well.

Winners of the “All Women” Art Exhibition will receive extensive worldwide publicity in the form of email marketing, 70+ press release announcements, 55+ event announcements, social media marketing and increased website traffic in order to make the art world aware of the artist’s accomplishments. There will also be links back to the artist’s website as part of this achievement.

With over $4000 in cash and prizes this is our biggest contest to date and everyone who enters will have at least 1 piece of art published in our 1 Year Anniversary Issue of Artist Portfolio Magazine.

Our Arist Portfolio 1 Year Anniversary Art Contest is open to all artists from around the world – regardless of your age or skill level in the art world. The Theme is “Open” and all types/genres of art are acceptable.

The aim of the Competition is to select the most interesting projects which will be presented in the Grand Prix Programme of the 11th International Festival of Photography in Łódź – Fotofestiwal 2012 (which is organized by the Foundation of Visual Education). The Competition does not imply any restrictions on the subject, technique or the number of works

Theme
Memory has been for centuries a community’s natural repository of symbolic and mythical meaning; a combination of true stories and fantastical representations, which mixed, history with poetry, reality with art, artistic conjecture with collective unconscious, the universal with the singular. With the end of dogmas and grand ideological narratives, memory is no longer a producer of myths, rather it survives as the basis for a search of truth, taking up the role of instrument of knowledge, of historical production and verification of information. The idea that memory is repository of a single, absolute truth, has been replaced in our information age by the notion of many memories: micro-truths without universal authenticity which act on the knowledge and production of history. In particular, according to Michel Foucault’s view, photography has given birth to the idea of archive as a repository of memory and a fundamental building-block of the present.

“beyondmemory” reflects on photography and video’s role in the perception of history and collective memory, with particular attention given to the importance of archives and photographic documents in artistic research – a cultural phenomenon which the philosopher Jacques Derrida called “le mal d’archive.”

Archive fever is one of contemporary art’s principal themes. Photography provides another viewpoint on history, revealing misunderstood or possible ‘truths’, transforming traces of information and documents into visual monuments of our time, often creating their own devices and taking up other languages of expression. Works submitted to Beyond Memory can contain images as clues for paradigms, textual elements, photographic installations with archive material, sound fragments, the use of photographs which are simply found or tell a common story, are some of the forms adopted by contemporary photography to give images various levels of significance to history and collective memory.

Projects
All projects presented to ‘beyondmemory’ must relate to the theme proposed by Marinella Paderni. Each project can contain one work or upto a maximum of 10 works – containing photographs and/or videos (max 10 miunutes) – supported by a textual statement. Works and statements can be uploaded directly by artists from personal accounts in Celeste Network, and instantly published in the appropriate area onsite called ‘Beyond Memory’.

Who can Submit?
‘beyondmemory’ is an international call for projects, in which artists or artist groups members of Celeste from anywhere in the world can participate without limits of age, sex or profession.

Shortlist Selections
A shortlist of 10 selected projects made by a Selection Committee which includes Giovanna Calvenzi, Daniele De Luigi and George Tatge will be announced on 31 March 2012. The 10 selected projects will exhibited in the fmsgallery of the Fondazione Studio Marangoni in Florence, Italy.

Production and Transport
Selected artists invited to exhibit their works in the fmsgallery, Florence, will be responsible for their personal travel costs, and all costs related to the transport of their works to and from the exhibition. Only works which are at the exhibition can be considered for the prizes.

Exhibition and Prizes
The three winning projects will be chosen by Marinella Paderni and announced on 15 May at the opening of the exhibition, which will last from 15 May to 12 June 2012. Following the announcement of selected projects, the curator of the exhibition Marinella Paderni will decide whether some or all of works in each selected project will be exhibited, having taken into consideration the nature of all other selected projects and available exhibition space.

Catalogue
A catalogue containing images of all selected works, as well as brief artists’ bios, and critical texts with be published.

Over $1,100 in cash awards and prizes to the top 3 finalist. Honorable mentions will also be selected. In addition to cash awards, prizes include marketing tolls and media kit for Best In Competition and promotion of Best In Competition by EWW to major media, trade journals, selected interior designers, selected gallery owners/directors, art consultants, and other appropriate contacts.

Finalist online exhibition will be held Jan.1–31, 2012; Best In Competition will have an Online Solo-Exhibition, Feb.1-28, 2012.

Now in our fifth year of selecting and exhibiting the world’s foremost emerging contemporary photographers we’re looking for this year’s competition to be the the largest yet with an ever-increasing amount of global participation.

The ONWARD Compé ’12 exhibition of selected work will take place at the Project Basho Gallery from February 9 – March 25, 2012.
