for Artists
Deadline: March 18th, 2013 Show Dates:
April 30 - June 1, 2013
$3650 IN PRIZE MONEY
North Valley Art League
celebrates a Juried Photography Show every May. This competition, first
held in 1989 for Art League members and local residents, expanded to a
regional show, from Northern California and Southern Oregon. In 2012
the show was expanded to an international show with both a gallery and
online exhibition. The competition's purpose is to offer photographers
an opportunity to exhibit their work and to demonstrate the quality and
variety of photography today. With the introduction of digital and
computer techniques, photography has opened its doors to new and
exciting interpretations that hold their own with traditional
photographic processes. Each year’s show is an example of the limitless
ingenuity and creativity of the photographic artist.
The North Valley Art League is a non-profit, all volunteer
organization. Your entry fees cover the prize money and other
expenses of running the photography show. Any remaining
monies
help fund the operating expenses of the NVAL Carter House Gallery so
that we can continue our goal of furthering the visual arts in the
Northern California region.
ELIGIBILITY
This show is open to all photographers. All forms of photographic
expression are encouraged: from film-based to digital capture -- black
and white darkroom to digital manipulation and alternative processing
-- montages to hand-colored photographs. All entries must be the
entrant’s original work, i.e. the capture of the image as well as dark
room and digital processing. This does not preclude the use of
professional labs for printing, resizing, and film development. Images
previously accepted into a NVAL Juried Photography Show are not
eligible.
EXHIBITION
Our purpose is to professionally exhibit your unique artwork in our
gallery for patrons to view, appreciate and purchase. Approximately 80
images will be exhibited at our spacious Carter House Gallery and on
the NVAL website. The gallery is located in Caldwell Park, 48
Quartz Hill Road, Redding, CA 96003, and fronts on the banks of the
Sacramento River as it runs through the heart of Redding. It is
adjacent to major recreational sites, consequently attracting local and
tourist foot traffic.

the Photography Department and full-time Instructor at City
College of San Francisco where he has taught since 1999. He
has also worked as a commercial photographer for 18 years,
serving clients such as Qualcomm, Kyocera, Jack-in-the-Box,
Chrysler, IBM and many more. He has won numerous awards
including Print Magazine’s Award of Excellence, CA Magazine’s Award of
Excellence, AIGA’s Homburg Award, and ASMP’s Gold Award. His work has
been published in Architectural Record, Town &
Country, Vogue and Sports Illustrated.
JUROR STATEMENT:
“Technical
quality is very important to me. But
superior technical quality alone does not make a photograph
successful. I look for interesting lighting, strong
composition and
creativity. The photograph’s content is like a written
message;
technique is the grammar”.
