To guarantee a high quality experience, the event will be pre-juried, with a limit of 60 participants. The DEADLINE to submit your portfolio for consideration is February 11th, 2011. Application MUST BE RECEIVED by 5pm.

Then, during the weekend of March 11-13, 2011, the selected 60 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 fifth annual event. The current confirmed reviewers list for 2011 is above, yet changes may occur due to unforeseen circumstances.

To insure a high quality experience, a panel of jurors will be pre-screening the entries.


Registration is a TWO-STEP process.
1- An initial review of portfolios submitted by CD with $40.00 entry fee.
2- Sixty portfolios will be selected from these submissions for the weekend review.
An additional $560.00 payment is then required for final participation if selected. We can help you manage the tuition amount over time if need be.
