A Message from the photo world

There is a call for entries happening right now by a group called Hit That Shutter which is a collective of photo faculty and artists trying to communicate ideas about photography education. Below is a message to be forwarded to the likes of all you…

To Undergraduate Photography Programs:

We are “Hit That Shutter,” a group of photographic faculty and photographic artists. We seek to create an exchange between differing photographic programs and their students, to foster a dialogue of understanding of the differing approaches and methods of instruction found at institutions throughout the United States and to actively support emerging artists by showcasing their work.

We are inviting you to spread the word about our current call for entries:

Spring 2011 Undergraduate Photography Survey

The top selected student photographer will receive a cash prize of $500.00 in addition to being included in the annual publication (book) as well as being included in the Best of Show Exhibition.
The top three selected student photographers will be included in the annual publication (book) and will receive a copy of the book. They will also be included in the Best of Show Exhibition.
The top ten selected student photographers will be included in the annual publication (book) and receive a copy of the book.
Featured artists (instructors) will also be included in the annual publication (book) and receive a copy of the book. Please visit our website at HitThatShutter.org <http://HitThatShutter.org> for details about submitting work as a featured artist.
The instructor listed on the entry form will also receive a cash prize of $500.00.

The intent of the cash awards is to encourage/provide photographers of all levels some funding to use for the creation of their art. Students in any undergraduate program with a concentration in photography can submit any photographically derived work. Submission details can be found at CallforEntry.org <http://CallforEntry.org> .

We are asking all undergraduate photography students to participate and we hope that you will pass this information on to everyone that may be interested in participating.

Thank you,

Hit That Shutter
