A FULL COLOR ILLUSTRATED CATALOG will be produced as part of the review and is included as part of the tuition fee.

Each participant will have two pages for images and contact information.




This three-day event will bring together top photography editors, publishers, curators, gallerists, and educators representing small, mid-sized, and major venues from around the U.S. to meet with engaged photographers to review their portfolios and encourage their careers.

The weekend’s activities will also include a FRIDAY EVENING LECTURE
March 12th, open to the General Public.


To guarantee a high quality experience, the event will be pre-juried, with a limit of 50. The DEADLINE to submit your portfolio for consideration is February 10th, 2010.

Then, during the weekend of March 12-14, 2010, the selected 50 photographers will each have ten twenty minute sessions with reviewers over the course of two days, and ample opportunity for further networking.

Reviewers are committed professionals representing a cross section of our community including book and magazine publishers, packagers and editors, museum, non-profit and commercial gallery directors, curators and leading educators and photographers.

This will be the fourth annual event. The current confirmed reviewers list for 2010 is below- changes may occur due to unforeseen circumstances, and we do anticipate adding to the list by March 12th.
