Tracey Baran Award 2011

The Tracey Baran Award was established to honor the memory and achievements of Tracey Baran, a young photographer who died after a brief illness in 2008. The annual award, with a fellowship grant of $5,000, will be given to one emerging female photographer who is a citizen of the United States.

The grant recipient will be determined by a review panel based on artistic excellence, accomplishment to date, and the promise of future achievement in the medium. The jury panel for 2011 consists of Carrie Levy, Photographer; George Perkins, Artist/Photographer; and Leslie Tonkonow, Director of Leslie Tonkonow Artworks+Projects.

Eligibility: The contest is open to all emerging female photographers who are citizens of the United States. Emerging is defined as not having had a major solo show in a commercial gallery or museum, gallery representation, or an advertising campaign. Entry fee is none. Application deadline is September 30th, 2011. A completed application consists of a portfolio of twenty image files showing representative, recent work with text descriptions for each (title, year, medium, and dimension), a resume/CV, and an artist statement that gives the review panel a better understanding of your work.
