exposure 2003 - call for submissions

Following the largest festival so far, with over 28 exhibitions from 9 countries, the 14th hereford photography festival is now seeking new work from photographers for exposure 2003 opening Saturday 4th October until Saturday 1st November 2003.

Festival Director, Robert Ashby, says

"exposure is keen to receive work that has not already had significant exposure in the UK, or new work that is being prepared in time for the festival. All submissions should be work that addresses human, social and cultural issues. All genres of photography, from documentary and photojournalism to conceptual work and all technical production methods will be considered. Submissions from countries outside the UK will also be welcomed, particularly where the work addresses cultural issues. The standard of work, from both a technical and creative point of view, needs to be very high."

Submissions of exhibitions can be either fully worked-up or work in progress. The work should form a complete set of images on a clear theme and not be a collation of images of the photographer's own particular style. The images need to work as a story or a complete presentation of the subject and a statement of the background will be required.

The Submissions' Selection Panel will meet in February and March for a two-stage selection process and all photographers will be notified of the selection by the end of April. The closing date for submissions is Friday 31st January 2003.
