Competition - 2010 AlternativePhotography.com calendar

As well as having the chance to be included in the calendar, there are also prizes for the 12 who make it into the calendar.

What to enter

Eligibility: All photographs entered should use an alternative photographic process, such as albumen, anthotype, argyrotype, carbon, chrysotype, cyanotype, bromoil, gum bichromate, gumoil, infrared, kallitype, vandyke, platinum/palladium, photogravure, polaroid lift, transfer and sx-70, salt print, temperaprint, vandyke, wet plate collodion, ziatype and other alternative photographic processes. It is nice if the work has been completed within the last 2 years, but not a must.

What not to enter

No digital, c-prints, or gelatin silver prints, pinholes, unless of course they are combined with an alternative process. All subject matters apart from nudes acceptable.

It is a worldwide event. Anyone can enter. All submissions must be emailed to us. Only ONE image per artist. The following should be included:

An image in digital format. The scan should measure at least 11.25 x 8.75 inches (wide) at 150 dpi. That is about 29x23 cm. You must own the copyright to the image.
The title of the image.
Your name (i.e. the artists name).

When to enter

Start now. Entries will be accepted until the deadline, which is Monday the 5th of October 2009.

None. Totally free.

How the selection is made

All images will be added to a gallery. Visitors to the website will act as a jury, voting for the winner. There will be a week of voting. The 12 top images will be added to the calendar.

What you will win

The top 12 images will be used in the official AlternativePhotography.com 2010 calendar. The calendar will be available for purchase at AlternativePhotography.com.

The winner will receive a Holga Camera.

The 11 runners up will receive one of the books listed below. The winners will be able to choose which book they would like by order of the number of votes they receive. I.e. the author of the image with the most votes will choose first.

Winners will be notified at the latest by the 15th of November, but most likely earlier.

You will retain copyright to your work. But, by entering the competition you will agree that your name and image can be displayed on the website or to promote future competitions at AlterantivePhotography.com.
