The Temple News Photo Project

From the features editor at the Temple News:

My name is Madison, and I'm the features editor at The Temple News, Temple University's independent, student-run newspaper.

I'm reaching out because our paper has started a photo project to capture how student life has changed this semester in light of campus closing and the switch to online classes during the COVID-19 pandemic.

We're asking students to submit us two photos - one that represents their student life before online classes, and one that represents it after. Students can submit the photos, along with brief descriptions and their contact information to this Google Form: https://forms.gle/NuSXuTNMzfZn6DNh7. It takes only a minute or two to fill out!

We want this project to be as representative of the student body as possible, so the more responses, the better!

All the best,

THE 2020 PHOTO REVIEW PHOTOGRAPHY COMPETITION

PHOTO EDITOR KATHY RYAN AND DEPUTY DIRECTOR JESSICA DIMSON OF THE NEW YORK TIMES MAGAZINE TO JURY THE 2020 PHOTO REVIEW PHOTOGRAPHY COMPETITION

Kathy Ryan, Photo Editor, and Jessica Dimson, Deputy Director, of The New York Times Magazine will be the jurors for the 2020 Photo Review Photography Competition.

The Photo Review, a highly acclaimed critical journal of photography, is sponsoring its 36th 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 2020 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 the Philadelphia Photo Arts Center. 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 cash award from Blue Flower; a Wacom Intuos tablet; an ioSafe Solo Hawk 1TB SSD portable drive; camera bags and backpacks from Pelican, Wandrd, and Think Tank; a $200 gift certificate from Shades of Paper, a leading supplier of inkjet photo paper; a 24˝x50´ roll of Museo Silver Rag; a 20″x24″ silver gelatin fiber print from Digital Silver Imaging; and several a Kodak Smile Instant Digital Printers.

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 June 15, 2020.

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.

Every One Of Us: a virtual exhibition

Emily Schiffer, North America. March 25, 2020. Brooklyn, NY. 

 

A message from the Philadelphia Photography Arts Center (PPAC):

Dear Friend,

COVID-19 will affect every one in the world. At the same time, no two people will experience it in the same way. Every One Of Us is a virtual exhibition that will speak to this contradiction by sharing photographs from our community taken during the pandemic. Through images from a variety of individual lives, a collective vision of this strange and challenging time will come into focus. 

We want to see your perspective. To enter your work in Every One Of Us, email info@philaphotoarts.org with a photograph and the date and time when it was taken. Your piece will be shared on our Instagram @philaphotoarts with the hashtag #everyoneofus. During social distancing, our Instagram will be a virtual gallery and gathering space. 

There is no fee or membership requirement to participate. We welcome artists of all levels of experience, and encourage you to forward this email and share this project with anyone who might be interested in participating. 

We believe that photography will be a vitally important record of this moment. Just as importantly, photography can help us created a shared experience across the distances we must now observe. It is our hope that Every One Of Us will honor the experiences of all participants, and help us remain connected until the time we can safely share space again. 

Please see full submission guidelines below. Thank you, and I hope you and your loved ones are well. 

With gratitude,

Sarah Stolfa
President, Chief Executive Officer, and Artistic Director

Philadelphia Museum of Art Summer Curatorial Internships - deadline in one week!

My name is Victoria Fletcher, and I am writing to be in touch about the Mellon Undergraduate Curatorial Fellowship Program at the Philadelphia Museum of Art—a unique and wonderful opportunity for undergraduate students. We will host another Summer Academy in June 2020.

This one-week immersion program is designed to provide a rich experience in the museum environment and expose the participants to career options related to art and art history, with an emphasis on the curatorial field. Each Summer Academy includes workshops, tours, field trips, and networking events with museum professionals. Among other eligibility requirements, the program is intended specifically for undergraduate students from historically underrepresented groups in the curatorial field and who, if selected as a fellow, can commit to two years in the program prior to graduating. Fifteen students will be selected to participate in the Philadelphia Museum of Art’s 2020 Summer Academy during the week of June 14–21.

I’ve attached here a PDF of our program one-pager, which gives a good overview of the opportunity as well as how to find our website and apply. Please feel free to forward this to any students who may be interested.

Applications are due by Friday, February 28, 2020. Thank you so much for your time, and please be in touch with any questions.

Best regards,
Victoria
