-- 10 DAYS LEFT TO ENTER! --
Show Dates: October 5th - November 14th, 2012
10 REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD ENTER:
1. Your work viewed by THOUSANDS daily in the central atrium of the world's busiest airport. (We could stop there, but we're just getting started....)
2. A chance to have your work seen by juror Amy Miller, Executive Director of Atlanta Celebrates Photography. If you're new to the show circuit, read more about Amy Miller here. Which brings us to number 3 ..... 3. No prior show experience necessary. That's right, you can be brand spankin' new to the scene and still have an equal shot at being accepted into the show! Just ask any of our past Airport Show photographers who had never even entered an APG show. 4. You will be published in the Fall Line Press limited edition catalog, "Fall Out." Yes, PUBLISHED. This exhibition publication is being produced specifically for The Airport Show, and will feature an essay and information about each photographer and their work. (See more information and other publications by Fall Line Press here.) 5. You don't have to mat or frame any of your work! APG will handle ALL matting and framing of selected images, with only a $20 matting fee per photo! When's the last time you paid $20 to have a photo professionally matted and framed? Not to mention the hassle of actually doing the framing.6. Only $50 to enter 6 images, or $75 to enter 12 images. Sounds like a sweet deal when you consider number 5, eh?
7. Promotion of the show in October's Atlanta Celebrates Photography guide -- the go-to guide for info and dates on the 150+ events and exhibitions held during the city-wide festival. You know you want to be in there. 8. Promotion of participating photographers through APG's website, facebook page, and newsletters. Names and links included, so get those websites up and running! 9. A SECOND show of your work seen at the APG gallery in January 2013. Proceeds from sales support APG's many programs and events. However, photographers will have the option of retaining up to 50% of sales. 10. And really, just super cool bragging rights when you're accepted into the show!
So now that we have your brain sifting through all of those visual files for potential entries, record this date....
DEADLINE FOR ENTRIES: AUGUST 4, 2012 And while you're at it, just go ahead and print out the entry form HERE.
