ShanghaiPRIDE 2017 Photo Exhibition – Call for Submissions
If not now, when?
This is the question that drives the ninth annual ShanghaiPRIDE festival, slated for June 15-18 under the theme “The Time Is Now …” In today’s uncertain world, we cannot wait any longer: It’s time to love fearlessly, to live open lives, to stand with our community, to champion acceptance and beat back intolerance. What will you do now to shape our tomorrow?
The annual ShanghaiPRIDE Art and Photo Exhibition showcases work by talented artists from the LGBTQ community and allies. This year’s exhibition will focus on photography.
So for the first time, we are inviting the public to take part by submitting photos along with a short introduction. At the opening reception, the audience will vote for their favorite pieces, and the winning photographer will receive a special award.
1. Format: Photography
Taking a photo has never been easier; today’s technology has made the art accessible to anyone with a cell phone. To cater to both amateur and more seasoned photographers, the exhibition will include two categories: one for photos taken by PHONE, and another for photos shot with a CAMERA.
2. Theme: Time Is Now… XXX
Think of this as an open subject, you can fill it up to make it your own title for your work. (i.e The Time is Now to snap a photo!) Photo submissions might depict the challenge of discovering a more inclusive workplace; finding a better way to communicate with your family; starting a new relationship; or just simply being yourself and enjoying life. No matter who you are or what form your experiences take, we want you to capture significant moments in your life with emotion, expression, depth, and detail.
There are no limitations on photo submissions in terms of subject, composition, or relation to the exhibition theme, as long as your entry does not include nudity or violence.
