Rites and Rituals

Call For Entires: Rites and Rituals

Submit

For this exhibit we seek images of humankind’s most common and ancient practices. Rites of passage: birth, coming of age, marriage, death. Ceremony, observance, meditation, sacrament, liturgy, pilgrimage, celebration, practice, custom.
All photographers and all image capture and processing methods are welcome.
We encourage creative interpretation of our themes. Images do need to relate to the theme, but they need not be entirely literal.
We are very pleased that Douglas Beasley will be jurying and curating this exhibition. He will select approximately 35 images for exhibition in the gallery, and 40 for our Online Gallery. All 75 selected images will be reproduced in the exhibition print catalog and remain permanently on our website, with links to photographer’s URL.

Prizes:

Exhibition with distinctions of Juror’s Award, Director’s Award, and Honorable Mention.

Eligibility:

All photographers 18 years of age and up
