Amateur and professional photographers are invited to submit digital files of their color and black and white works to the Texas Photographic Society (TPS) for Childhood: An International Photo Exhibition.

The Exhibition will open at the Dougherty Art Center in Austin, TX in January 2010 and then tour the state of Texas for one year.
The juror is Jamie Lee Curtis, actress, children’s book author, activist, photographer and
collector. Ms. Curtis said about the exhibit. “Childhood is fleeting – yet sometimes, in a fraction of a second, photographers can capture its essence: joy, pain, play, boredom, frustration, elation.  As an author of children’s books I have tried to capture what it feels like to be a child – the good and the bad – and to stimulate a dialogue between children and parents regarding the issues raised in the book. I hope to see creative work that captures childhood’s many guises.” A color catalogue of the exhibition will be printed and sent to all entrants, select museum curators and photography magazines. Accepted entrants receive three catalogues.
