ASMPNE 2nd Photo Annual

ASMP New England INVITES YOU TO SUBMIT TO THE 2023 PHOTO ANNUAL

ASMPNE is thrilled to announce our second Photo Annual.  We hope you’ll submit your images!

The Photo Annual is a curated digital book of the top 50 images that represent the best of the best in our chapter, as well as a SERIES category in which THREE winners will be chosen. This year’s juror panel consists of David Barreda, Art Streiber, and Jenna Teeson. Ratings will be on photos only. No other info will be visible to the judges. Images are chosen based on an average of the three jurors’ ratings. If your work is chosen by our panel of jurors, it will be distributed digitally to local photo editors, art directors, designers and advertising agencies, and you will receive a PDF as well. This is an amazing opportunity to get your work in front of industry professionals who hire photographers.

Read below for important information and details.  Click here to purchase your submission tickets.  You’ll then receive a Google Form via email to submit your images.  Please submit your images by 11:59PM Thursday, May 18th, 2023.

** We’re currently experiencing some problems with the Google Form for image submission. The form should be corrected this shortly. In the meantime, if you have problems with the form you can submit your images via email to kd@kellydavidsonstudio.com. **

IMPORTANT DETAILS

• We have TWO categories of submissions: General and Series. Each cost $30 to enter. With General, you may submit 1-5 images; and with Series, you may submit 3-5 images with each purchased submission ticket.
• You must purchase a submission “ticket” for one or both categories. Submissions to both categories will be done via one Google form. The cost to submit to the annual is $30 per submission. Acceptance into the annual is not guaranteed and your submission cost is non-refundable.
• Our jurors ratings will be averaged to select the 50 best images among the General submissions, and the top three Series submissions. The selected images will be laid out in a digital book along with the photographer’s photo credit and a link to their website.
• If the Photograph contains any material or elements that are not owned by the entrant and/or which are subject to the rights of third parties, and/or if any persons appear in the Photograph, the entrant is responsible for obtaining, prior to submission of the photograph, all releases and consents necessary to permit the exhibition and use of the photograph, without additional compensation. If any person appearing in any Photograph is under the age of majority in their state/province/territory of residence the signature of a parent or legal guardian is required on each release.
• There is no theme or guideline on image content for the GENERAL submission. Members should submit their best work suitable for the audience of art directors and art buyers.
• Series of Images: a SERIES is considered a grouping of three to five images representing a single theme.  Series images should come from current / ongoing series work. Entries in this category will only be judged as a body of work and single photographs submitted as part of a series of images cannot be submitted as part of the general category and vice versa.
• You may submit up to five images for the General category and 3-5 images in the Series category.
• Releases will need to be shown and the ASMP New England Social Media Release will need to be filled out for all winning entries.
• Street photography created in public spaces may win entry to the ASMPNE Photo Annual without a release but such images will be passed by ASMP General Counsel Tom Maddrey for confirmation of permissibility, and these images will not be used for promotional purposes of the ASMPNE Photo Annual.
• Images must have been created on or after January 1st, 2022.
• There is no date of creation requirement for the Series submission, but we do ask that it be a current or ongoing series (i.e. no old work, we want to see images that you photographed recently, as well as in the past as part of the series).
• You may NOT submit any images that were chosen for the previous Photo Annual.
