Call for Submissions - Get Real: Documentary & Street Photography

Contests, Juried Art Shows - Oil, Art Gallery

For almost two centuries now, fearless photographers have carried their cameras out of their homes and into the great unknown that resides beyond their front door, in an effort to quantify, clarify, and perhaps even objectify the world around them.

Like the writer, the photographer must "shoot what she knows." The best photographers must strive to see the profound in the most commonplace everyday occurrences. And the vision of that artist's eye, the ability to see the great unseen and picture the profound from the pedestrian, is the magic that continues to propel photography as a great art form yesterday, today and in the future.

This month 1650 welcomes your take on documentary and street photography. Approximately fifty works will be chosen from submitted photographs to be included in the GET REAL exhibition at 1650 Gallery in the Echo Park neighborhood of Los Angeles. Additional works may also be selected for an online gallery exhibition page.

Eco Arts Awards is an annual thematic arts competition that features six creative categories: Fine Art, Photography, Literature, Repurposed Materials in Art & Design, Short Videos, and Songwriting! The theme is ecology, as we seek to promote its meaning, knowing that artist's are a key factor in lifting our awareness above any political or scientific debate. We have expert jurors in each category that will select the top three winners; First, Second, and Third place. Our juror's score on the basis of criteria specific to each medium, but know that thematic content carries a heavier weight in the overall score. This is our second year, and we have made some changes, not the least of which is doubling the amount of cash we are offering to three winners in six creative categories! The other change we are making is rather than announcing ten finalists we will be announcing our "Top Fifty" in each category, as we want to honor more artist's for their creativity and promote the theme of ecology from as many different perspectives as is possible. We will announce all winners on January 31st, 2013 via our newsletter, so be sure to sign up for it on our home page! Its also a good idea to "like us" on facebook for more current news and interesting info pertaining to the art of ecology. Now go hug a tree and express yourself!
