Although I hate to give myself more competition, and I'll be bummed if I don't make the cut, I think we should all enter!!! I certainly plan to!!

Thanks for posting this Suzanne.

If a good portion of APUG members support contests like these by entering, it sends a loud and clear message to the photo community at large. I, for one will enter, I hope I make the cut too!!

The rules, etc. for the call to entry are here:

One suggestion: Having volunteered to help process submisions for the state fair where I live, you would be amazed at the percentage of disqualifications because of photographers ignoring, or failing to read simple entry guidelines.

It looks like a great contest. It's too bad that if you are accepted, the works have to be hand delivered - that'll keep me from entering. But good luck, Suzanne - I hope you make it.

That's why I put this in the regional area. It may be hard for folks beyond New England to manage it, but I would agree with Jason... the more great work we can get "out there" the better for traditional processes!

Of course, it'll be hard enough with other APUGgers from New England entering, nevermind the rest of APUG!!

Thanks for pointing us to this one, Suzanne. Whether mine get in or not, I'll have to see the whole exhibition.

[Eric Rose]

Maybe we could get someone "local" to hand deliver our stuff.

Thanks for the link. I think I may give the show a try, but I wonder what type of work they are wanting to see. I tend to shoot different subjects.

[Bob Carnie]

I will try to enter this competition, getting the framed piece if the work is accepted will be tough , but not impossible.
thanks for the link Suzanne

Thanks Suzanne for the link. I'll enter this one too. I'm a long shot underdog!

Regards, Art.

Bumping this... deadline is in 2 weeks. I have one, maybe two new images to print that I'm thinking of entering. And a couple of older ones! And Eric, though it makes me a little nervous, if you want some help getting an image submitted, PM me.

FWIW, they did this show about three years ago. I didn't really have anything that I felt confident about, but I did see the show. It's a good sized gallery, and they had accepted quite a bit of work. But, one maybe two pieces per person.
