The New York Center for Photographic Art (NYC4PA) invites photographers world-wide to submit images using any photographic process (print, image transfer, emulsion transfer, encaustic, black and white, etc.).

WATER:

H2O – one of the first chemical equations we learn.

Water surrounds us as rivers, lakes, oceans, seas.  It is also so very central to much of our lives – the rain that makes our flowers grow, the ice cubes that cool our drinks, and on and on.

And it is beautiful to photograph. This call is about how you, the photographer, capture water in all its forms. Is it the crest of water hitting a seaside rock? Is it water heated to become steam or frozen like ice?  There are the glistening droplets of water from a puppy shaking itself off, tears expressing heartfelt emotion, reflections in a city pond, as well as active steam from a geyser. Maybe you used a slow shutter to create the soft image of flowing water in a stream or ventured out on a winter day to watch patterns emerge in the city ice rink. Raindrops, dew drops .... ice floes, waterfalls, rapids and serene lakes. The list goes on. Black and white, color, abstract - all 2D mediums are welcome. 

Eligibility: This Call for Entries is open worldwide to both amateur and professional photographers. NYC4PA invites photographers working in all mediums, styles and schools of thought to participate. Experimental and mixed techniques are welcome. Only 2-D work is eligible. Please visit https://www.nyc4pa.com/water for more information.
