In an era when large prints, really large prints, are in vogue, there is still a group of photographers who enjoy the discipline of creating small masterpieces. To afford them a measure of recognition, Soho Photo is initiating its Annual National Small Works Competition in February, 2011.

The Competition has no limit as to subject matter or technique, but the finished print size cannot be larger than 6 inches in each direction. Mattes and frames cannot exceed 12 inches in each direction. Our juror will be selecting the images to be exhibited and will award prizes as well.

The Small Works competition is open to all photographers, at least18 years of age, excluding members of Soho Photo Gallery. All photographic printing processes (silver, digital, platinum, Polaroid, et al) and subject matter are eligible.The maximum height and width of the print may not exceed 6 inches. We reserve the right to disqualify any work that exceeds these measurements. Free-standing pieces will not be accepted.

The Juror: Richard Klein Exhibitions Director, Aldrich Museum of Contemporary Art Ridgefield, CT. Richard Klein is a Connecticut-based artist, curator, writer and Exhibitions Director of The Aldrich Museum of Contemporary Art in Ridgefield, CT.The Aldrich is one of the few non-collecting contemporary art museums in the United States.The Museum enjoys the curatorial independence of an alternative space while maintaining art-handling standards of a national institution.

Soho Photo Gallery is the oldest artist-run photography gallery in New York City. It was established in 1971 by a group of photojournalists and avant garde photographers who were seeking an alternative gallery space in which to exhibit their work.
