One (Online Photography Competition) – Call For Artists

One (Online Photography Competition) – Call For Artists

Side Arts Certified Sponsored Listing] The New York Center for Photographic Art (NYC4PA) announces a call for artists for One, an online photography competition.

“One singular sensation” – what a great song. This call is about images with a single compelling focal point. It could be a person or thing that is alone in the frame, an element of a large grouping that clearly stands out, a field of lilacs with a single bright red rose, a portrait reminiscent of Andrew Wyeth’s “Christina’s World”, or a single shell on a vast beach. Using selective focus you can isolate a single pedestrian from the crowd on a city street.

Water (Online Photography Competition) – Call For Artists

Water (Online Photography Competition) – Call For Artists

[Side Arts Certified Sponsored Listing] The New York Center for Photographic Art (NYC4PA) announces a call for artists for Water, an online photography competition.

“Water under the bridge.” “Water water everywhere.” So many sayings and songs reference water. It is a critical concern in our environment and central to much of our lives. In addition, it is beautiful to photograph. This call is about how you, the photographer, capture water. Is it a thundering waterfall, glistening droplets from a puppy shaking itself off, a surfer caught in the curl, or a reflection in a city pond? Maybe you used a slow shutter to create the soft image of flowing water in a stream, teardrops, raindrops, dew drops, ice floes, waterfalls, rapids, or serene lakes. The list goes on. Black and white, color, abstract, and all 2D mediums are welcome.

Patterns And Shadows (Online Photography Competition) – Call For Artists

Patterns And Shadows (Online Photography Competition) – Call For Artists

[Side Arts Certified Sponsored Listing] The New York Center for Photographic Art (NYC4PA) announces a call for artists for Patterns and Shadows, an online photography competition.

Walking anywhere in the world at different times of day you can see dramatic changes as the light goes from midday bright to dusk. Early morning/late afternoon light can transform a simple scene to one of great interest as shadows grow longer and shorter. Consider city streets with shadows of tall buildings crossing sidewalks, cars, busses, and people. Similarly, bright light casting shadows on a flight of stairs creates a canvas of black and white stripes. Just as powerful are shots where the impact of the image is derived from patterns in the composition such as the line-up of palm trees in the tropics with the shadows cast along a sandy beach. Different images and interesting interpretations of your own shadow are welcome as well. Be creative. Send your best.

Same But Different (Online Photography Competition) – Call For Artists

Same But Different (Online Photography Competition) – Call For Artists

[Side Arts Certified Sponsored Listing] The New York Center for Photographic Art (NYC4PA) announces a call for artists for Same But Different, an online photography competition.

For this call NYC4PA is challenging photographers to pair two photographs and submit them in diptych format (both images in one file). The images in each file will be “almost” the same but different enough to make each unique. You may have two versions of an image that you processed differently, or the same scene shot at different times of day. Have you taken two portraits of the same person with a feature or features that distinguish the images? The possibilities are endless. The room for interpretation and creativity equally vast.

Black And White (Online Photography Competition) – Call For Artists

[Side Arts Certified Sponsored Listing] The New York Center for Photographic Art (NYC4PA) announces a call for artists for Black and White, an online photography competition.

Photography, in its infancy, was entirely about black and white or monochrome images. Color was an after print add on.

Enter your monochrome images where all the emotion, texture, and beauty are expressed in shades from white to dark. No matter if your original image was shot with tri x, a digital SLR, or your phone, if the end product is a terrific monochrome image (black and white or sepia), then it fits the call.

As with all NYC4PA calls, all 2D photo mediums are welcome.

Urban Suburban Rural (Online Photography Exhibition) – Call For Artists

[Sponsored Listing] The New York Center for Photographic Art (NYC4PA) announces a call for artists for Urban Suburban Rural, an online photography exhibition.

Urban, suburban, and rural are life choices, whether for living or visiting. What about these locales caught your eye? Was it the skyline, parked cars, or lights of the theater in the Urban Landscape? Alternatively, did you capture the bar-b-q in a suburban backyard. Maybe it was the geometry of a street of well-groomed front yards, a strip mall, or other image representative of the suburban scene. Finally, were you caught up in the imagery of rural impressions – the hills, dales, cows, horses, white farm fences, or rusted cars on front lawns?

Send your interpretations of rural impressions, suburban scenes, and urban landscapes. Lots to see, lots to photograph.

  • Partridge in a pear tree

Open to any photographers worldwide of any age, amateurs or professional.

In the forest and jungle, trees create entire environments. Standing alone on hillsides, they create lovely shadows. Trees can be tall and straight like a winter pine or bend in the wind. Limbs and branches create wonderful patterns against the sky. A tree will support a tire swing for a child on a hot day, provide sturdy posts to tie up the pet pup or hold a hammock off the ground, and support a backyard laundry line. In winter, snow covered trees create beautiful landscapes.
