Current Call for Entries
Words and Pictures
Online Exhibition: Words & Pictures
This call for entry asks for work that incorporates both words and pictures. Wikipedia states that "Photo/text is a hybrid form of artistic expression that combines photography and textual elements to convey a message or create a narrative. This combination allows for a multi-dimensional experience for the viewer. Images can showcase words in pictures, on pictures, or accompanying pictures." Today, the idea of the photographer as a storyteller is ever present, and this exhibition will showcase work that celebrates the marriage of these two expressions.
