Picturing Home: Dallas Center for Photography Exhibition until 21 June 2020


Deadline: 21 June 2020. Home is both a place and a state of mind. It can be comforting or challenging, personal or communal, but always evocative. For many of us the idea and reality of home is changing. Our schedules, our relationships and the way we interact with our family and neighbors are all being reinvented. DCP invites you to enter this juried competition with photographs that illustrate how your home experience is evolving as we adapt and change during this unique time in history. The call is open to everyone. Students under 18 years old are encouraged to enter the Youth Category.

Selections will be featured in a virtual exhibition on the DCP website. We are also planning to have an exhibition catalog in book form that will be available for purchase. DCP will host a virtual opening reception (date to be announced) that is free and open to the public. Prizes will be awarded to the first, second and third winners in both the youth and adult categories.

Our judge will be looking for images that resonate with our current experience, but the photographs could be from any point in time.

Each applicant may submit up to 10 images for consideration.

There are no restrictions on the type of camera or process used.

All images must be original works of the photographer.

SELECTION PROCESS

Our juror for this competition is Nancy Borowick. All entrants will receive an email on July 6 to inform them of the selections for the show.
