I have some “altered” photography work that is printed on soji screen paper does that qualify?
Sure does!
I do some collage with expressionistic darkroom printing. Does that work with the show?

Is it $25 a submission just to be juried even if it does not make the show or is 25$ to submit 5? Also is there any size requirements? Would 10×15 inch holga prints mounted on foam core be ok to show? Thank you, Kellen
I have some light paintings that I did using medium format transparency film. Does that qualify for submission?
[...] else? email us for approval. You will probably get it. $25 entry fee.

Hey there! The $25 submission fee covers up to 5 pieces to be juried. Unfortunately, the submission fee is not refundable, regardless of the outcome. There are no minimum or maximum size requirements ad Holga prints on foam core are acceptable. They just need to be ready to hang if accepted into the show.
Hi Todd,
That sounds interesting–you should definitely submit:)
Thanks!
Jennifer
Hey Sarah,
Yes, it qualifies. We look forward to your submissions:)
Thanks!
Jennifer
How about work done with an 8×10 studio camera and 125 yr old football sized lens on paper negs?
Oh yeah, that counts.
Hi, can I submit dry plate tintypes?
thx!
Yes!
Inkjet on canvas eligible? How about platinotype?
Does an image taken with a lens baby on a DSLR count?
Nicholas~Platinotype=yes! Inkjet on canvas….probably not. It would really depend on the camera you used to collect the image being printed.
Anything taken with a DSLR wouldn’t be included in the specifications for the show unless there was some kind of alternative printing/processing.
1. Would traditional silver prints made from a 4×5 camera be eligible?
2. Are cyanotype eligible?
Absolutely!
Would capturing images using a digital flatbed scanner be acceptable? Just to be clear these are not scans on images, but the actual creation of new images.
Am I reading this correct that you mainly want toy and handmade cameras, or will any film camera qualify.
Also do prints need to be wet darkroom or are digital prints acceptable.
finally I have a few pieces I may like to enter that consist of 4-9 images in seperate frames. They are 1 piece meant to be hung together to create the whole image. Is this acceptable as one entry?

Too bad that the time between jurying in and getting the work is so short as it means those of us outside the states, to be practical , can’t enter…also, paypal would be a great way to pay as it is international!

Sorry I just learned about this… How about large (30 x 40-ish) cyanotypes on fabric? Or traditional LF negative enlarged onto 20 x 24 film? How about traditional camera with very non-traditional everything after that? Finally, what about other alt-process things like Van Dyke Brown, Gum Bichromate, etc. where everything that happened after the camera is non-traditional? Or, does the actual image capture have to be the non-traditional part? Thanks!
That all sounds great and in the spirit of this show. I hope you decide to submit.
I’ve been working with the wet plate processes in a camera that I’ve altered to hold glass plates… does that count?
Sure does!
Hello
I work in digital zone plate and pinhole image capture, and composite them to create
combined images. These are printed on hand-coated Rives BFK and Stonehenge
papers. Would these images qualify
Thanks so much
Sounds awesome Jerry! Yes, that qualifies:)
Shoot. Found out too late. Will have to wait for the next one! Thanks!
