About This Call
The Somerville Toy Camera Festival seeks entries for its sixth annual celebration of toy and lo-fi photography. Images of any subject matter made with a "toy" camera – any low-tech camera with no or very limited exposure control, such as pinhole, Holga, Diana/Diana clones, Brownie, Ansco, or disposable cameras – are eligible. The key criteria are plastic lenses and a lack of reliable exposure control. Straight Polaroid-type images, or images made with cell phones, digital cameras, or film cameras with full exposure control (such as the Lomo LC series), will not be considered.
A maximum of five pieces may be entered for consideration. The submission deadline is June 24, 2019, with a $25 submission fee per artist. Photographers will be notified by July 20, 2019, and selected work must be received by August 31, 2019. The exhibition will take place September-October 2019 at Brickbottom Gallery, Nave Gallery, and Washington Street Gallery. Accepted pieces must be delivered to the respective gallery framed and wired for hanging (or ready and equipped for display, in the case of viewing devices, constructions, etc). Artists are responsible for the cost of shipping to and from the gallery. The final placement of work will be decided by the organizing committee.
The festival is juried by Gordon Stettinius, a photographer, educator, editor and publisher living and working in Richmond, Virginia. His work has been exhibited nationally and internationally for nearly thirty years and can be found in numerous private and public collections. He is represented by Page Bond Gallery in Richmond, Virginia and Robin Rice Gallery in New York. In 2010, Stettinius founded Candela Books, an independent publishing imprint, and later opened Candela Gallery in Richmond, dedicated to exhibiting photography.
