Due: April 1, 2015

AWARD-WINNING NON-PROFIT JURIED PUBLICATION
(publication + $2,000 in cash awards)

INPHA 4
4th International Photography Annual

An Award-winning Juried Annual Publication of Works of Contemporary Photography and other Photo-based Visual Art

$2000 in cash awards ($1200 first place)
All artists included in the project receive a free copy of the hardcover book.

INPHA is open to a very broad range of lens-based and photographic submissions. This project is not just for ‘photographers’ and ‘photography’ but also for anyone working creatively in a visual art (or design) field with work that incorporates the lens or photographic process in some significant way, including manipulated and mixed-media processes.

As with all Manifest projects, we are very open to learning about and publishing visual art that fits within this broad scope.

The competition and publication is open to any artist submitting original works of art or design created within the timeframe of 2012 – 2015. Professionals, novices, and students in ALL disciplines are encouraged to submit. For this call for submissions Manifest is eager to receive works in a wide range of types, including traditional, digital, and experimental photography, photo-collage, and other lens-based work. As with its other annual publications, Manifest is open to unexpected solutions, broad interpretation, and surprise. Works submitted must clearly feature the photographic or lens-based process as a primary, but not exclusive, characteristic.

*note that artists submitting time-based art (video, etc.) must realize that for the purpose of the publication only still imagery will be used to represent the project in print.
Submission deadline: April 1, 2015

Film Screening | Miss Representation

MissRepresentation_web_FINAL

Miss Representation at Texas Woman’s University
Thursday, March 26th, at 6:00 p.m. CFO 203
Film Screening: Miss Representation w/ Director Ms. Jennifer Siebel Newsom

Miss Representation reveals the betrayal of women in the media. The film demonstrates how society is misguided by media content, which generally highlights the mere physical attributes and nurturing abilities of women, but limits recognition of their intellectual capabilities. The film also uncovers how successful women in various careers are still deprived of respect and recognition for their achievements in comparison to the male gender.  Miss Representation will leave the audience thinking of the many opportunities our world could be deprived of if women’s endeavors continue to go unsupported or underrepresented.

Join our guest speaker; film Director, Jennifer Siebel Newsom, as she discusses Miss Representation and its efforts to raise awareness about stamping out inequality and discrimination. The event is sponsored by Commuter Services and Lasso 100th in celebration of Women in the Media and International Women’s Day.
