Competition – Transformations: The Ordinary Made Extraordinary
This week we announced that we would be featuring a photo competition every single day within our Competitions category – maximising the opportunities you have to enter great contests and not to miss them. Today, we’re featuring a PhotoPlace Gallery competition entitled – Transformations: The Ordinary Made Extraordinary.
PhotoPlace Gallery seeks photographs that enable us to see ordinary things in new ways. They have welcomed Ellen Jantzen as the juror for this exhibition. According to PhotoPlace Gallery, Ellen is an amazing photographer whose work has been featured in a number of important exhibitions and honored with numerous awards. Ellen will choose 40 photographs for display at PhotoPlace Gallery from December 3rd through December 28th. She will also select up to 35 additional photographs for the gallery’s Online Annex. All selected work will be included in a full-color exhibition catalog available for purchase.
To help artists defray costs, PhotoPlace Gallery offers to mat and frame work selected for exhibition free of charge, providing artists print their images to our pre-cut mat and frame sizes.
