In light of the release of Ampersand’s third issue this Spring, the Sydney-based curiosity journal is holding its first annual open photography competition. Editors are particularly thrilled to have Australian photographic legend and Ampersand fan Bill Henson on board as the competition’s guest judge.

Whether you are a professional photographer or a dentist who happens to own a camera, we are looking for creative, evocative, humorous and thoughtful photographic responses to the theme, The Fade.

Submissions may or may not be landscapes, portraits, still lifes, wedding photography, glamour shots, theatrical scenes, wildlife, marketing photography, food photography, fashion photography, paparazzi or photojournalism. They may or may not be spontaneous or staged. They may or may not be natural or digitally augmented.

All submissions will appear on the Capture The Fade blog. Winning submissions will be exhibited by Ampersand Magazine at the Capture The Fade exhibition & published in Ampersand # 3 – The Fade and the overall winner will be profiled in that issue

Ampersand Magazine explores creativity, societal change and the human condition
through multiple disciplines. It is interested in the discussion of the unfashionable, unorthodox, illuminating or rare. Ampersand is sold in all major galleries and independent bookstores across Australia and overseas.
