Texas Photographic Society announces upcoming student exhibitions and workshop

I wanted to let you know about two wonderful opportunities TPS is offering - both are open to students. We are always eager to see what your students - the next generation of our photographic community - have been working on!

The first exhibition is our #NewVisions2021: A Student Exhibition.
Deadline for Entries is 04-26-21 (11:59 pm MST)

• This exhibition is an online, open-themed collegiate student photo competition. Submissions from college undergraduate, graduate and continuing education students of all skill levels are encouraged. Students may submit up to 12 images and each image will be judged independently.
  
• Cash Prizes will be awarded for first place, second place, and third place, and first place winner will receive a Fujifilm X-E4 camera kit with XF27mm F2.8 R WR lens (courtesy of FujifilmUSA)! FujifilmUSA has recently entered into a new sponsorship with TPS and is eager to learn more about the student photographers we support.
  
• The juror is photographer and book artist Eric Kunsman. Located in Rochester, New York, Eric owns BookSmart Studios, and works at the Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) as a Lecturer for the Visual Communications Studies Department at the National Technical Institute for the Deaf and is an adjunct professor for the School of Photographic Arts & Sciences.

The  second exhibition is At Night in conjunction with the Museum of the Big Bend and McDonald Observatory.
Deadline for Entries is 04-30-21 (11:59 pm MST)

• The exhibition will be held at the Museum of the Big Bend in Alpine, Texas, from June 11 to September 5, 2021. An opening reception and symposium weekend with lectures and workshops focused on photography and the dark sky are planned for June 12 & 13 at The Museum of the Big Bend. This venue was chosen for its proximity to Big Bend National Park, Big Bend Ranch State Park, and Sierra La Rana Development in Alpine - all designated as International Dark Sky Places.
  
• TPS is partnering with McDonald Observatory (producer of the daily NPR radio program Star Date), Big Bend Conservation Alliance, Globe at Night, and Texas Master Naturalist.
  
• Cash Prizes will be awarded for first place, second place, and third place. The juror is Lance Keimig, renowned night photographer, author, and educator, will be the juror for this exhibition. A resident of Bristol, Vermont, Lance has taught night sky photography since 1997, leads workshops and tours around the world, and is the author of the notable book Night Photography - Finding Your Way In The Dark.

UnBound10! An Exhibition & Collection Opportunity - DEADLINE 4/12

I’m reaching out from Candela Gallery in Richmond, Virginia. We are gearing up for our summer exhibition program and hoping to spread the word. UnBound! is a unique juried exhibition for emerging & established photographers -- that is FREE TO SUBMIT TO as well as aCOLLECTION OPPORTUNITY. This year will be our TENTH UnBound! exhibition and the Collection we've built from previous UnBound!acquisitions currently includes 91 photographic objects & artist books. We're really proud of this program and hope to continue reaching new audiences each year. I've included more information about the gallery and this summer exhibition below. Photographers in all stages of their careers are encouraged to submit! So we hope you and your students will consider applying.
THE DEADLINE FOR SUBMISSIONS IS ONE WEEK AWAY - Monday, April 12th at 11:59pm

ABOUT THE GALLERY
Candela Books + Gallery is currently in its tenth season and is located in Richmond, Virginia. As a gallery and publisher, Candela’s mission is to elevate and support contemporary photography through exhibition and educational programming, publication opportunities, and community-building. Candela has participated in a few fairs including AIPAD the past three years. Learn more about our gallery philosophy here.
ABOUT UNBOUND!
Each summer we host a group exhibition - UnBound! - where we invite around 5-6 artists and then the rest of the show is juried from submissions. It is typically the only open call exhibition we have each year and have close to 45-55 participants.
Candela is able to purchase work from the show for The Candela Collection via fundraising efforts throughout the duration of the exhibition. This fundraising typically takes the form of a large party, however, 2021 will consider COVID precautions and focus on virtual fundraising efforts and small gatherings. It’s a unique group show and over the last nine years we’ve acquired 91 photographic art objects and artist books. Our promise to the collected artists is that we intend to ultimately donate the Candela Collection to a fitting institution.
In short, we are trying to celebrate photography, generate sales and for some, create a collection opportunity. We keep fees off the submission process and the quality is pretty tight. The show will be on view at Candela Gallery in Richmond, Virginia from July 2nd - August 7th
Learn more about UnBound!, the Candela Collection, and browse previous UnBound! exhibitions at the link below.

About UnBound!

This summer will be our TENTH UnBound! exhibition so we'll be trying to make a lot of noise! Please feel free to share the flyer I've attached below with your department and students.

Download 2021_contest_poster

Christopher James, an internationally known artist and photographer whose photographs, paintings, prints, and alternative process image-making have been exhibited in museums and galleries in this country and abroad will be the juror for the 2021 Photo Review Photography Competition. Christopher is presently University Professor and Director of the MFA in Photography and Integrated Media program at Lesley University College of Art and Design in Cambridge, MA. He is the author of the widely acclaimed The Book of Alternative Photographic Processes.

The Photo Review, a highly acclaimed critical journal of photography, is sponsoring its 37th annual photography competition with a difference. Instead of only installing an exhibit that would be seen by a limited number of people, The Photo Review will reproduce accepted entries in its 2021 competition issue and on its website. Thus, the accepted photographs will be seen by thousands of people all across the world and entrants will have a tangible benefit from the competition.

Also, the prize-winning photographers will be chosen for an exhibition at a noted exhibition venue to be announced shortly. Plus numerous Editor’s Selections will be exhibited in several Photo Review web galleries.

Because their work was seen in The Photo Review, past winners have been given one-person exhibitions, have had their work reproduced in other leading photography magazines, and have sold their work to collectors throughout the country.

Awards include a $500 purchase prize for inclusion in the Haverford College Photography Collection, one of the largest and most comprehensive college photography collections in the United States, selected by William Earle Williams, the Audrey A. and John L. Dusseau Professor in Humanities, Professor of Fine Arts and Curator of Photography, at Haverford College; a $500 gift certificate for printing at Booksmart Studio; a Wacom Intuos tablet; a Contraste Compact/180mm camera bag; a Wandrd PRVKE Pack 31 Photo Bundle; a Wandrd PRVKE Pack 21 Photo Bundle; a Pelican Air 1535 Carry-On Case; a $200 gift certificate from Shades of Paper, a leading supplier of inkjet photo paper; a $200 Gift Certificate for Red River paper; a $200 Gift Certificate to Tog Tees; a 24″x50′ roll of Museo Silver Rag; a Think Tank Streetwalker V2 backpack; a Think Tank Retrospective 7 shoulder bag; a 20″x24″ silver gelatin fiber print from Digital Silver Imaging; and a feature on the Laurence Miller Gallery’s Picture of the Week email blast.

The entry fee is $35 for up to three images and $8 for each additional image. In addition, all entrants will be able to subscribe to The Photo Review for $40, a 20% discount. (Higher rates apply for non-US subscribers.)

All entries must be received by May 31 2021.

You can download contest rules and submit images at www.photoreview.org/competition. For further information call The Photo Review at 215/891-0214, 340 East Maple Avenue, Suite 200, Langhorne, PA 19047, info@photoreview.org.

Photo Faculty Search: four upcoming visits

Dear Tyler Photo Students,

We are in the process of interviewing candidate finalists for a full time tenure track position in the Photography program which has an emphasis on video and audio. There will be several opportunities for you to meet or interact with each candidate.

First, each candidate will be sharing their own creative work. We have also asked them to devote a small portion of their presentation to include their thoughts on possible future directions of lens/time based media in general.

Second, there will be a forum for the candidates to critique the work of one pre-selected undergraduate and graduate student. This will be open for observation.

Last, we’ve scheduled a more informal social event that’s modeled after the idea of a virtual lunch or an evening dinner though the timing doesn’t always work out well for either dining time, and the candidates aren’t expected to eat on camera!. This is a perfect occasion to meet the candidate in an informal situation.

I hope that you can attend any and all sessions that you can fit within your schedule. You will be able to provide feedback at the end of each session, or you can simply provide an overall reflection for a candidate if that is easier. 

Please see the list below for the candidate’s names, dates, and zoom links. Their biographies are included at the end of this note. We hope to see many of you there, and the search committee is eager to gather your feedback and insights.

t-art magazine photo contest

My name is Eleanor Shemtov, I'm a junior studying Design and Cognitive Science at the University of Pennsylvania. I started a publication called t-art magazine in fall 2019, dedicated to exploring the intersection of art and technology.

We have just launched a photo contest open to all undergraduate and graduate students across Philadelphia colleges, that will be judged by a panel of three UPenn Fine Arts & Design professors, including Shelley Spector, Gabriel Martinez, and Avery Lawrence.

We're working with Good Karma Cafe in Philadelphia in order for the winner to have their photograph exhibited in their cafe(s)! There are also gift card prizes for the three top winners, and their submissions will be featured in our first print magazine to be launched later this spring.

We would love to share information about the photo contest with the Tyler student community, as we hope to reach all interested students in the Philadelphia area.

Thank you so much.

Best,
Eleanor
