Cary Photographic Artists 13th Annual Open Juried Exhibit

Cary Photographic Artists announces its 13th Annual Open Juried Photographic Exhibit. Due to coronavirus restrictions, this year's exhibit will be held digitally. Entries will be judged using digital images submitted through CaFE, and an online exhibit will be created with an awards ceremony conducted via Zoom.

The exhibition features two categories of judging: Monochrome and Color. The registration deadline is October 4, 2020. Entry fee is $35.00 for up to three images. Images must be submitted in JPG or JPEG format, sRGB colorspace, minimum 1200 pixels on the longest side, maximum 1920 pixels on the longest side, and no larger than 5MB. Images must be the individual work of the entrant; composited images that include public domain images are not acceptable. Work accepted in prior CPA Juried Exhibitions is not permitted. To ensure anonymity during judging, no identifying information or copyright information may appear on the image.

Fifty images selected by the jurors will be displayed in an Exhibitors' Gallery on the Cary Photographic Artists website beginning October 30, 2020. One image from each photographer not juried into the Exhibitors' Gallery will be exhibited in a Participants' Gallery beginning November 15, 2020. Notification of accepted images will be sent by email on October 20, 2020 by 9:00pm EST. Photographers whose images are accepted into the Exhibitors' Gallery must provide a 100-word biography and photograph of the artist (jpeg file, 400 pixels x 400 pixels) by October 23, 2020.
