Eligibility: Open to all

Entry Fees: $35

We are excited to announce our Self Portrait call for photography. The act of creating a self portrait is an important process for an artist. Self portraits reveal stories, it’s an exploration of identity, it’s an intimate glimpse into the life of the artist. As we explore image and personal identity, we gain insight into the life of the artist. We are looking forward to seeing your best self portrait photography.
