New Scholarships Available For Photojournalists Returning To School

The National Press Photographers Foundation is pleased to announce the availability of new scholarship money for photojournalists who have returned to school. NPPF president Mike Smith said the funds are being made available through the Foundation, the National Press Photographers Association, and a grant from the Author’s Coalition of America.

"If you are a photojournalist with three years experience and your work has been published in newspapers, magazines or through agencies, and if you have returned to school in the past year, you are eligible to apply," Smith said.

“These scholarships are particularly important now when so many photographers have been forced to learn new skills just to keep their jobs, much less find a new one. We are fortunate to have some money to support photographers who are trying to keep up with the head-spinning changes in their industry.”

Six grants of $4,000 each, called the NPPF-NPPA Career Expansion Scholarships, will be awarded this year.

The application deadline is November 15, 2011. Applicants must include a resume, completed application forms (which can be downloaded at http://nppf.org) and recommendation letters from their instructors.

Send your application materials to: Tom Hardin, NPPF vice president, 1622 Forest Hill Drive, Louisville, KY, 40205. Hardin can be contacted by eMail to answer questions about applying.

Interested applicants must submit their 2-page narrative by no later than 5 p.m. on Friday, November 30, 2011. Applicants may submit their narrative via email at info@jacobyartscenter.org with “CAA” in the subject line or via postal mail, postmarked by the deadline, to Jacoby Arts Center, Attention: CAA, 627 East Broadway, Alton, IL 62002.

Camera Work talk & exhibition: Thursday, 27 October 2011

Call for Work: Deadline 15 November 2011

Call for Artists: Crossing Identities – Mexico
Deadline: November 15, 2011

International ArtExpo is selecting all interesting video/short.films and photo works to include in the next 2011 Exhibition: Crossing Identities – International Videoart Festival and Photo Exhibition at Terraza Bugambilias in Morelia, Mexico (December 02 – 04, 2011)
The deadline for applications is November 15, 2011.

The selections will be based on the main concept of "Crossing Identities." In contemporary society boundaries are getting more and more fleeting, and also the identity, what makes every person or place a recognizable entity, turns out fluid, multiple, making also the cultural, religious, ethnic borders changeable. This change, this mutation has allowed to cross the inside of the identities creating new possible crossings, new blends. And it's just this "contemporaneity" that makes our civilization conceived as subjected to a process of continuous evolution and cultural hybridization. There is no limit between an identity and the other one any more but it is possible to walk, to cross a passage and to find oneself halfway through it, in a non-place, in a non-identity.

The number of works with which you can participate is unlimited.
All video works must be on DVD (PAL or NTSC), no matter what the original source medium. The maximum length of videos should be 10 minutes.
All photo works on every kind of support are accepted. The maximum dimensions allowed per each image are 150 cm per side.
Send your works submissions with a CV/biography, videography and some still images (only for videoartists) and some samples of photo works (only for artists) to:

Luca Curci Architects
Corso Vittorio Emanuele II, 33
70122 Bari, Italy

The participation in International Videoart Festival and Photo Exhibition requires an entry fee for every artwork submitted and selected. Participation open to professional artists, architects and designers, associate groups and studios.

International ArtExpo is a not for profit organization that provides a significant forum for cultural dialogue between all artists from different cultures and countries. We depend on the support of you. ArtExpo is grateful to all of the institutions, corporations, and individuals who support our efforts. We work with a number of national and international galleries as well as publishers, museums, curators and writers from all over the world. We help artists through solo and group exhibitions, gallery representation, magazine reviews and advertisements, press releases, internet promotion, as well as various curatorial projects.
